Frequently Asked White Questions
Frequently Asked White Questions | Ajay Parasram, Alex Khasnabish
1 post | 1 read | 2 to read
Are you a white person with questions about how race affects different situations, but you feel awkward, shy or afraid to ask the people of colour in your life? Are you a racialized person who is tired of answering the same questions over and over? This book is for you: a basic guide for people learning about racial privilege. In Frequently Asked White Questions, Drs. Alex Khasnabish and Ajay Parasram answer ten of the most common questions asked of them by people seeking to understand how race structures our every day. Drawing from their lived experiences as well as live sessions of their monthly YouTube series Safe Space for White Questions , the authors offer concise, accessible answers to questions such as, “Is it possible to be racist against white people?” or “Shouldn’t everyone be treated equally?” This book offers a thoughtful and respectful guide for anyone trying to figure out “woke” politics without jargon and judgement.

4/5

This book is a distillation of common conversations that came up during conversations the authors hosted about race at the university they work at. I think it was a good overview in non-academic language of these ideas, and an excellent place for someone who is interested in learning more about race to begin. I also thought it was interesting to read a book about race that has a Canadian perspective rather than a U.S. perspective.
