| book description |

INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER In the spirit of We Should All Be Feminists and How to Be an Antiracist, a poignant and sensible guide to questioning the meaning of whiteness and creating an antiracist world from the acclaimed historian and author of Twisted. Vital and empowering What White People Can Do Next teaches each of us how to be agents of change in the fight against racism and the establishment of a more just and equitable world. In this affecting and inspiring collection of essays, Emma Dabiri draws on both academic discipline and lived experience to probe the ways many of us are complacent and complicit--and can therefore combat--white supremacy. She outlines the actions we must take, including: Stop the Denial Interrogate WhitenessAbandon Guilt Redistribute ResourcesRealize this shit is killing you too . . . To move forward, we must begin to evaluate our prejudices, our social systems, and the ways in which white supremacy harms us all. Illuminating and practical, What White People Can Do Next is essential for everyone who wants to go beyond their current understanding and affect real--and lasting--change. This is not another guide to allyship--it is a radical call to dismantle the concepts that harm everyone: The Social Construction of Race: Discover why ""white people"" are a recent invention from 1661, created to serve the needs of capitalism and divide the working class. Race and Capitalism: Unpack the intertwined history of race and capitalism, revealing how exploitation and inequality are hardwired into the system we live in today. Coalition Building: Move beyond guilt and individual ""privilege"" by learning from historical examples, like the Rainbow Coalition, to identify shared interests and build powerful, lasting movements. Beyond Inclusion: Explore concepts from the Black Radical Tradition, like fugitivity, that offer a path to refuse the terms of oppression rather than simply asking for inclusion within a broken system.
