دانلود کتاب برتری سفید لیبرال – چگونه مترقیان ستم نژادی و طبقاتی را ساکت می کنند

This book is the result of years of struggle, my own and those of the people I interviewed. Most importantly, I want to thank activists in the organizations I studied, and others, who work tirelessly against racism, class exploitation, transphobia, and patriarchy. So many people influenced the completion of this book through encouraging words, support through difficult times, and mentorship. I am grateful to one of my most influential mentors, Noel A. Cazenave, for encouraging me at every stage of my career to persist in the study of racism despite opposition. I continue to draw from Noel’s examples of strength and courage as I battle racial hostility in my everyday life and what he calls “linguistic racial accommodation” in academia. I have been fortunate to have had many wonderful colleagues and advisers who have offered valuable feedback on my work at various stages of my academic career: Vilna Bashi, Mary Bernstein, Deanna Chang, Alex Heckert, Harvey Holtz, Herbert Hunter, Bandana Purkayastha, and Evelyn Simien. I want to especially thank my collaborators, accomplices, and coconspirators, Tsedale M. Melaku and Soribel Genao, my friend Pekah Wallace, and my colleagues Lizette Colón and Cecelia McCall, who offered me valuable advice on addressing racial hostility as I worked through this and other projects. I would like to thank Melanie E. L. Bush for inviting me to present previous drafts of this work at the Society for the Study of Social Problems panel on The End of White World Supremacy; the Association for Humanist Sociology, where I presented this work for the session on Politics, Power and Resistance Movements; and Thinkolio, a Brooklyn-based organization that provided me space to write and invited me to speak at various venues. I want to sincerely thank David Embrick and David Brunsma for editing this important series and believing in my work. I am grateful for the feedback they and anonymous reviewers provided. Noel A. Cazenave, Catherine Mulder, and my re search assistant, Kristine Riley, provided feedback on previous drafts of this book. Additionally, I want to acknowledge my current and former students, who inspire me and continue to remind me of the importance of this work, especially Jessica Hsiao and Chandra Waring, who is now a brilliant professor working on racial injustice. I consider both these wonderful women my dear friends. I also spent a great deal of uninterrupted writing time at Willow and Olivia Bakery, so I thank the owner, Gia, for our chats and the best coffee I have ever tasted. I am especially grateful to my children, Hope and Justice, and my husband, who encouraged me through the many challenges reflected in this book and gave me the space and time I needed to think and write. Justice happily read chapters, offering me feedback, examples, articles, and songs that she thought expressed the ideas I was communicating. Hope, with her gentle and quiet demeanor, always knows more than she lets on, and when I am fortunate enough to hear her ideas, she puts everything into perspective. I am blessed to have such thoughtful, intelligent, and compassionate people in my life. Everything I write is touched by their insight.
