Select Condition 
Book Overview
In White Awareness, "a group training program is presented in which white people work together in a nonthreatening environment to alter deeply ingrained, often unconscious racist attitudes and then embark on a program of behavioral change. The program has been used with measurable success in many settings. It can be adapted to the specific setting and needs of the participants. After an introduction explaining the principles on which the program is based, a detailed step-by-step training format is presented. The six group experiences, called stages, center on the following themes: racism, definitions and inconsistencies; confronting the reality of racism; dealing with feelings; cultural differences; exploring cultural racism, the meaning of whiteness; individual racism; and developing action strategies. Instructions and suggestions for conducting each session are provided, along with recommended readings, lists of materials required, and sources of materials." Social Work Research and Abstracts.

A must book for anyone who seriously wants to work against racism
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Katz was the first White person (or certainly one of the very first) to show and discuss racism as a White problem and issue. This is an important book that needs to be read by all professionals. Allen Ivey, EdD, ABPP Distinguished Univ. Professor University of Massachusetts, Amherst
Dated, but still useful tool for exploring racism
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
While this book is 20+ years old, Katz offers a useful resource to examine various aspects of racism. I use this book with college students in an introductory course on "race, class, and gender" and the students find the exercises useful in beginning to explore many issues.
