Abstract:
What does it mean to 'be white'? This book asks this question in order to consider how white U.S.-Americans participate in racial justice-making. It illustrates how 'white' identities are embodiments of problematic moral realities. It argues that movements for reparations for people of African descent attempt to redress such realities
