Description
What does whiteness actually mean — and why does understanding it matter for everyone? What Does It Mean to Be White? by Robin DiAngelo, the internationally recognised scholar and bestselling author of White Fragility, is a rigorous, thought-provoking, and deeply important academic work that examines how white racial identity is constructed, sustained, and rarely examined — and why developing genuine white racial literacy is essential for any honest conversation about race and justice.
Now in its Revised Edition, this landmark text goes beyond surface-level diversity conversations to explore the deep social, historical, and psychological structures that make whiteness invisible to those who benefit from it — while remaining painfully visible to those who do not. For Kenyan students of sociology, education, gender studies, and critical race theory, diaspora Kenyans navigating predominantly white institutions in the UK, US, and beyond, and anyone seeking a deeper scholarly understanding of how race operates in modern society, this book is an essential and genuinely illuminating read.
What this book covers:
- How white racial identity is socially constructed — and why that matters profoundly
- The concept of white racial literacy and why developing it is critical for social justice
- How whiteness operates as an invisible norm that shapes institutions, culture, and power
- Why white people struggle to see or discuss race — and how to change that
- Practical frameworks for educators, counsellors, and advocates working in diverse settings
