Book description
A revelatory memoir seeking to reimagine white identity through a lens of compassion, curiosity, and nuance as Garett Bucks documents his various attempts and failures to define himself in relation to other white people--as either heroes to admire or villains to reject--exploring the limits of those definitions and the journey to create a more expansive language for his white identity. In our current political moment where white Americans are being asked to reevaluate how American history, policy, and mass media informs the way they see Black and Brown Americans, Garett Bucks's memoir specifically models what the challenge looks like for a white American man to reevaluate what being white can mean if it's centered on an affirmative sense of cultural identity that isn't dependent on exclusion. The Right Kind of White is a groundbreaking memoir that offers an open and honest discussion of race and how understanding one's own white identity can create the racial accountability needed in much of the nation's discourse.
