Feeling White: Whiteness, Emotionality, and Education by Cheryl E. Matias
Matias is a baller, and her ideas are more compelling than Robin DiAngelo's (I will give you one guess why people go to DiAngelo instead), but man oh man is she the absolute fucking worst at similes and metaphors. I have edited more bad writing than I can remember because that's being a book editor, and it's wild because the gusto with which Matias goes after her absolutely horribly ill-advised and poorly conceptualized similes and metaphors is something I usually only see in fiction writers!
But in all seriousness, there is some really good stuff in here about critical whiteness, and there's some sappy shit about social justice that kind of made me want to vomit, and as an editor I can't get fully behind her as a writer because she's just not that gifted at it and really thinks she has something, but as a scholar with ideas, she is absolutely at the top of the game and deserves much wider recognition in the academy AND in the general public.
