White women : everything you already know about your own racism and how to do better
Jackson, Regina, 1950-2022
Books
As the founders of Race2Dinner, an organisation which facilitates conversations between white women about racism and white supremacy, Regina Jackson and Saira Rao have noticed white women's tendency to maintain a veneer of niceness, and strive for perfection, even at the expense of anti-racism work. In this book, Jackson and Rao pose these urgent questions: how has being 'nice' helped Black women, Indigenous women and other women of color? How has being 'nice' helped you in your quest to end sexism? Has being 'nice' earned you economic parity with white men? Beginning with freeing white women from this oppressive need to be nice, they deconstruct and analyse nine aspects of traditional white woman behaviour - from tone-policing to weaponising tears - that uphold white supremacy society, and hurt all of us who are trying to live a freer, more equitable life.
