A brief description of this volume:

For Whites Only by Robert W. Terry, presents a different and enlightening perspective of the consequences of racism for whites and how it undermines the progress of whites as well as people of color. In this book, Bob Terry exposes the racism of both liberals and conservatives.

As an alternative to racism he proposes a new white consciousness. Whites cannot be color blind, nor can whites be black. New white consciousness is an awareness of white as a color and of the role of whiteness in racial disunity. Put more bluntly, it is an awareness that the race problem is not a black problem but a white problem.

Racial unrest has its root cause in white attitudes and white-controlled institutions. Terry proceeds on the basis of this analysis to discuss strategies, tactics, and styles by which whites can bring about the kinds of changes in society that are necessary to eliminate racism and its effect.

What Gordon Allport did for understanding individual racism (prejudice) and Louis Knowles and Kenneth Prewitt did for understanding institutional racism, Bob Terry did for understanding cultural white racism.

Dr Terry raises a number of practical observations:

• Historical Myths: What does Thanksgiving mean to Native Americans?
• Contemporary Language: Whiteness is celebrated as good (white hat special); whereas Blackness is castigated as bad (blackmail and black market).
• White Standards: The standard of beauty--blond hair and blue eyes--doesn't apply to people of color.

Question: So when is Washington's birthday?

Answer: It depends on which Washington you're asking about--George or Booker T.

Review of For Whites Only

This book is one among over thirty on a bibliography provided to anti-racism educators in the network that I train and support. It made this educator's list because it supports the development of critical thought while it clearly conveys the existence of multiple contexts in which such thought resides. I heartily recommend it. ~Inez Torres Davis (Chicago, IL)
