Heart of Whiteness:
Confronting Race, Racism and White Privilege
The Heart of Whiteness offers an honest and rigorous exploration of
what Robert Jensen (a UT Journalism professor and Third Coast Activist
Resource Center board member) refers to as the depraved nature of
whiteness in the United States. Mixing personal experience with data
and theory, he faces down the difficult realities of racism and white
privilege. He argues that any system that denies non-whites their full
humanity also keeps whites from fully accessing their own.
Jensen's book is both a cautionary tale for those who believe that they
have transcended racism, and also an expression of the hope for genuine
transcendence. When white people fully understand and accept the
painful reality that they are indeed "the problem," it should lead
toward serious attempts to change one's own life and join with others
to change society.
