I am author of Living Across and Through Skins: Transactional Bodies, Pragmatism and Feminism (2001), Revealing Whiteness: The Unconscious Habits of Racial Privilege (2006), Good White People: The Problem with Middle Class White Anti-Racism (2014), and The Physiology of Sexist and Racist Oppression (2015). I also am co-editor of four books including Race and Epistemologies of Ignorance (2007) and Feminist Interpretations of William James (2015).
Good White People was named a 2014 CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title and a Ms. Magazine Must-Read Feminist Book of 2014. It also was awarded The Society of Professors of Education 2016 Outstanding Book Award.
Currently I am finishing a monograph called White Privilege as part of Polity Press’ new general readership series, THINK, and I also am working on an edited scholarly book on Philosophy in/of the South.
