A lot of food for thought; definitely a start for white people trying to unlearn the racism we were raised with.
This was interesting, and a quick read. Though the people who need to read it the most will pass by it because they don't see their white privilege. I'm glad I read it, I've been working especially hard to stay "woke" going into my hopeful teaching career.
Much of it felt like anecdotal rambling. Often times feeling like a request for self validation on the author's part Some parts were good and can be useful in an office setting. I may just look at the resource list for further reading. I have no desire to check out the author's website because of it getting referenced which is actually the part where I started to really get bored and annoyed a bit.
Honestly, this makes you take a good look at yourself, how much of a white upbringing you had, and the white privilege you've probably been clinging onto without realising it. As for the tools provided, I feel like it was the same tool worded in different ways throughout the however many pages this is. There is a lot of repetition and it was just a little too dramatic at times for me to take Kathy's experiences as seriously as I probably should've done. Saying that, this does make you think and I don't regret reading it because it has helped me take a good look at myself and my whiteness so... if there's a copy lying around then I would say pick it up.
Some good food for thought here, but too many links to the author's website for information that I felt could/should have been in the text.
