Backlash : what happens when we talk honestly about racism in America / George Yancy ; foreword by Cornel West.

Yancy, George, (author.).

Summary:

"When George Yancy penned a New York Times article entitled "Dear White America," he knew that he was courting controversy. Here, Yancy chronicles the ensuing blowback as he seeks to understand what it was that created so much rage among so many white readers. He challenges white Americans to develop a new empathy for the African American experience."--Provided by publisher.
