| Sommario/riassunto: | This interdisciplinary textbook challenges students to see race as everyone's issue. Drawing on sociology, psychology, and economics, Seeing White introduces students to the concepts of white privilege and social power. Compelling concrete examples illustrate key theoretical perspectives, including cultural materialism, critical race theory, and the social construction of race. Each chapter includes discussion questions to help students evaluate institutions and policies that perpetuate or counter forces of privilege and discrimination. |
