Nice White Ladies
Nice White Ladies: The Truth about White Supremacy, Our Role in It, and How We Can Help Dismantle It | Jessie Daniels
2 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
An acclaimed expert illuminates the distinctive role that white women play in perpetuating racism, and how they can work to fight it In a nation deeply divided by race, the Karens of the world are easy to villainize. But in Nice White Ladies, Jessie Daniels addresses the unintended complicity of even well-meaning white women. She reveals how their everyday choices harm communities of color. White mothers, still expected to be the primary parents, too often uncritically choose to send their kids to the best schools, collectively leading to a return to segregation. She addresses a feminism that pushes women of color aside, and a wellness industry that insulates white women in a bubble of their own privilege. Daniels then charts a better path forward. She looks to the white women who fight neo-Nazis online and in the streets, and who challenge all-white spaces from workplaces to schools to neighborhoods. In the end, she shows how her fellow white women can work toward true equality for all.

Mehso-so

I wanted to take some time away before I did a review on this book. There were things about this book that bothered me, and I wanted to step back & evaluate if that was because I found them fundamentally bothersome or if they struck close to home & made me uncomfortable as a white woman. This book would have been a 4-star read for me, but I rounded down for the dry presentation that made me close the book more often than I usually do. ⭐⭐⭐

I received this ARC months ago but haven't been able to squeeze it in. The ratings on Goodreads are abysmal but I'm going to try it. The writing style is kind of dry so far.
