Speaking Treason Fluently: Anti-Racist Reflections From an Angry White Male

Speaking Treason Fluently: Anti-Racist Reflections From an Angry White Male by Tim Wise


English | Sep. 1, 2008 | ISBN: 1593762070 | 352 Pages | PDF | 1.33 MB

In this highly anticipated follow-up to White Like Me: Reflections on Race from a Privileged Son , activist Tim Wise examines the way in which institutional racism continues to shape the contours of daily life in the United States, and the ways in which white Americans reap enormous privileges from it. The essays included in this collection span the last ten years of Wise’s writing and cover all the hottest racial topics of the past decade: affirmative action, Hurricane Katrina, racial tension in the wake of the Duke lacrosse scandal, white school shootings, racial profiling, phony racial unity in the wake of 9/11, and the political rise of Barack Obama. Wise’s commentaries make forceful yet accessible arguments that serve to counter both white denial and complacency—two of the main obstacles to creating a more racially equitable and just society. Speaking Treason Fluently is a superbly crafted collection of Wise’s best work, which reveals the ongoing salience of race in America today and demonstrates that racial privilege is not only a real and persistent problem, but one that ultimately threatens the health and well-being of the entire society.

Waste of a White Skin: The Carnegie Corporation and the Racial Logic of White Vulnerability

Waste of a White Skin: The Carnegie Corporation and the Racial Logic of White Vulnerability (George Gund Foundation Imprint in African American Studies) by Tiffany Willoughby-Herard


2015 | ISBN: 0520280865, 0520280873 | English | 328 pages | PDF + EPUB | 2 MB + 4 MB

A pathbreaking history of the development of scientific racism, white nationalism, and segregationist philanthropy in the U.S. and South Africa in the early twentieth century, Waste of a White Skin focuses on the American Carnegie Corporation’s study of race in South Africa, the Poor White Study, and its influence on the creation of apartheid.




This book demonstrates the ways in which U.S. elites supported apartheid and Afrikaner Nationalism in the critical period prior to 1948 through philanthropic interventions and shaping scholarly knowledge production. Rather than comparing racial democracies and their engagement with scientific racism, Willoughby-Herard outlines the ways in which a racial regime of global whiteness constitutes domestic racial policies and in part animates black consciousness in seemingly disparate and discontinuous racial democracies. This book uses key paradigms in black political thought—black feminism, black internationalism, and the black radical tradition—to provide a rich account of poverty and work. Much of the scholarship on whiteness in South Africa overlooks the complex politics of white poverty and what they mean for the making of black political action and black people’s presence in the economic system.




Ideal for students, scholars, and interested readers in areas related to U.S. History, African History, World History, Diaspora Studies, Race and Ethnicity, Sociology, Anthropology, and Political Science.

The White Image in the Black Mind: African-American Ideas about White People, 1830-1925 [Repost]

The White Image in the Black Mind: African-American Ideas about White People, 1830-1925 by Mia Bay


English | Feb. 10, 2000 | ISBN: 0195132793 | 296 Pages | PDF | 2.37 MB

How did African-American slaves view their white masters? As demons, deities or another race entirely? When nineteenth-century white Americans proclaimed their innate superiority, did blacks agree? If not, why not? How did blacks assess the status of the white race? Mia Bay traces African-American perceptions of whites between 1830 and 1925 to depict America"s shifting attitudes about race in a period that saw slavery, emancipation, Reconstruction, and urban migration. Much has been written about how the whites of this time viewed blacks, and about how blacks viewed themselves. By contrast, the ways in which blacks saw whites have remained a historical and intellectual mystery. Reversing the focus of such fundamental studies as George Fredrickson"s The Black Image in the White Mind , Bay investigates this mystery. In doing so, she uncovers and elucidates the racial thought of a wide range of nineteenth-century African-Americans–educated and unlettered, male and female, free and enslaved.
