Amanda’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for Witnessing Whiteness: The Need to Talk About Race and How to Do It

Witnessing Whiteness: The Need to Talk About Race and How to Do It by Shelly Tochluk

The insinuation that unrecognized socialization was largely responsible for my thinking and actions struck at the heart of my sense of individuality and freedom.
