Everyday Forms of Whiteness Understanding Race in a 'Post-Racial' World

Breaking the Code of Good Intentions examines why many white people in America feel that we have achieved racial equality, though most social and economic indicators suggest otherwise. The second edition of this groundbreaking book incorporates new data and interviews to show how the everyday thinking of ordinary people contributes to the perpetuation of systemic racialized inequality. The book also identifies opportunities to challenge these patterns.
