Feeling White: Whiteness, Emotionality, and Education by Cheryl E. Matias

5.0

I've spent a lot of time wondering about how we can best integrate therapeutic understandings of emotion with critical race theory. Dr. Matias does that here in a way that is masterful and actively challenges the status quo—pushing her students to engage in difficult ways in the classroom, because trust and connection require discomfort. About 5 pages into reading the introduction in my library copy, I immediately went and bought another copy online for myself, because I knew it was one I'd revisit again. 5/5 stars for sure.
