Understanding white privilege : creating pathways to authentic relationships across race

Summary: Knowingly and unknowingly, we all grapple with race every day. Understanding White Privilege delves into the complex interplay between race, power, and privilege in both organizations and private life. It offers an unflinching look at how ignorance can perpetuate privilege, and offers practical and thoughtful insights into how people of all races can work to break this cycle. Drawing from thirty years of work in diversity and colleges, universities, and corporations, Frances Kendall candidly invites readers to think personally about how race--theirs and others'-- frames experiences and relationships, focusing squarely on white privilege and its implications for building authentic relationships across race.
