This book explores what it means to be a white woman in America today. The spark was lit by Ta-Nehisi Coates, who borrowed James Baldwin’s phrase “those who believe themselves to be white” for Between the World and Me. Reading Coates set in motion this project and also a long-standing anti-racism reading group that Litle lead for RCWMS. She set out to grasp the meaning of this phrase for her own life, which led her to the history of this country and of her family’s role in the formation of America. It led her, unexpectedly, to reconsider the meaning of the American Dream for those who believe in equity and justice. The book speaks particularly to white people who struggle to understand racism in the United States and who want to explore its history as it relates to their own lives.
