History

What has value and worth in our lives?
What has significance, capital and access to power, control and dominance?
How about the “capital” of our identity and that of others?

Part III of Critical White Studies provides some answers and of course, critical questions that may linger.

A controversial topic at the table of American discourse is always the construct of “Whiteness.”
The civil discussion requires a semblance of historical knowledge, content, context, language and critical research.
These are the tools that provide veracity, confidence and consideration of different perspectives and perceptions.
These tools also provide emotional intelligence and moral courage to stay the course, continue the conversation and even enhance it.
The discourse can be exhaustive and debilitating for many constituencies.
But to fear critically examining and dissecting the tenets of -isms and phobias only speaks to the desperation of keeping such fallacies alive.
The five part series provides awareness and insights rather than final solutions that remain in our hands.
The choice to engage or not has always been ours.
