Habits of Whiteness offers a new way to talk about race and racism by                  focusing on racial habits and how to change them. According to Terrance MacMullan,                  the concept of racial whiteness has undermined attempts to create a truly democratic                  society in the United States. By getting to the core of the racism that lives on in                  unrecognized habits, MacMullan argues clearly and charitably for white folk to                  recognize the distance between their color-blind ideals and their actual behavior.                  Revitalizing the work of W. E. B. Du Bois and John Dewey, MacMullan shows how it is                  possible to reconstruct racial habits and close the gap between people. This                  forthright and persuasive analysis of the impulses of whiteness ultimately                  reorganizes them into something more compatible with our country's increasingly                  multicultural heritage.
