Acting White?: Rethinking Race in "Post-Racial" America: Carbado, Devon W., Gulati, Mitu

Acting White? by Devon Carbado and Mitu Gulati is a thought-provoking book that challenges readers to rethink their assumptions about race and identity.

The authors argue that racial judgments are often based not just on skin color, but on how a person conforms to behavior stereotypically associated with a certain race.

They explore the "racial double binds" that blacks-and others too-confront today, including the pressure to "act white" and the costs of doing so.

The book is filled with provocative examples from the workplace, higher education, and police interactions, making it a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of racial identity.

With its accessible language and creative approach, Acting White? will challenge your assumptions and make you think about racial prejudice in a fresh vantage point.
