This book provides important inside details about how white families participate, protect, and fight against white supremacy beliefs the settings of private and public schools. The author did an excellent job of including data to guide the reader in gaining a more comprehensive understanding of race relations in the United States. This should be required reading for any class working toward equity.
the first book I've read that included the voice of children. this is so important given that there is barely any research out there that shows how kids develop radicalized views of the world. It would be really great if more parents were to read this in order to raise better, open minded, communicative, and well rounded children. Children today do not need to be only academically strong but also need to have a social understanding of the world and how it works. I read this book for a class in college. Its not a tough read, its straightforward, goes into various sub topics and is an important area of study today. Racism is still very much alive and books like these need to be at the forefront.
White Kids is an intriguing title, but there are no villains here. Sociologist Margaret A. Hagerman details findings and observations of * Parents and children from 30 upper middle class white families * Whose children are middle school age * And live in one of three neighborhoods in and around a medium size midwestern cityregarding their opinions and attitudes towards race.What is “white privilege,†anyway? I’ve read a number of essays by authors of color who use this term, and I know I’m not the only one who is confused. Being born white is not a privilege, and there are certainly under-privileged white people. Then again, I know, empirically, white people have an advantage over people of color, so in my mind, I’ve simply exchanged the word “advantage†for “privilege.†I found while reading this book it isn’t that simple. There are many forms of privilege. Athletic or artistic talent, intelligence, education, and wealth are all forms of privilege. This study is about the privileges that come with the advantages of wealth.Why did the parents choose their respective neighborhoods? What do they consider a good school? Is racism a learned behavior, or are ten- to thirteen-year-olds capable of forming their own opinions? How do parents, schools, the media, peers, extra-curricular activities, travel, and charitable activities inform the children in regards to race? What do the families do to perpetuate or prevent the continuation of white privilege?These are just some of the questions addressed. There is also a chapter dedicated to cultural appropriation, centered specifically on the use of the word “ghetto.†I found this especially interesting, because “ghetto†is a derivation of an Italian word meaning a separate neighborhood in which Jews were forced to live. Over time, its meaning has changed. And even during my lifetime, connotations of the word have changed. Cultural appropriation itself is a sticky subject, in my personal view. I find it can be quite complimentary. After all, one would not adopt culturally diverse foods, music, or fashion if one did not enjoy them. But failing to acknowledge the source of that which we enjoy excludes that source.Yes, cultural appropriation is a sticky, messy subject. So are privilege and racism. But, as you will see, these things are not the product of people who are inherently evil. Trying to make sense of it all is like walking through oatmeal. “White Kids,†while it draws its information from a small representation of the United States, is highly illuminating and thought-provoking. I give it five of five stars. I learned a lot about things that have eluded me my entire life. That’s a worthy read!
Absolutely vital work on how affluent white American children conceptualize race and racism. There is a special focus on how children and parents replicate racist systems. Required reading for white parents.
Get your highlighters out folks! Luckily, I read this in the form of an advanced digital copy so, thanks to technology (and the publisher), I was able to mark it up and make notes to my heart’s content. White Kids is Margaret A. Hagerman’s incredibly brave and timely study of a group of children, blessed with enough security that they are less likely to feel directly threatened by the (slow) socioeconomic advancement of people of color. This small, specified sample allowed her to really isolate the concept of race and how society (or at least this particular demographic) regards racial lines, discrimination, etc, both consciously & subconsciously. I have to admit that I stopped after the first couple chapters to Google the author because she was so in tune to what we (people of color) would call microagressions that I would have sworn she was coming from a place of experiencing that torn feeling when someone says something hurtful or stereotypical and, even though you know they didn’t mean anything by it and probably don’t even realize that they’ve said anything wrong, you can’t stop the wave of hurt & defensive you feel. You guys, I could have cried when I saw her picture. I am always advocating & encouraging people to read & talk to people that don’t look anything like them, the reality is, not everyone does. So, to have someone that looks like Hagerman not just write a book but literally devote years of her life to researching this topic, is huge. I can’t remember the last time I’ve felt so “seenâ€. I may also have a different appreciation than most for this book because of the unique perspective I grew up (and still live) with. My parents were opposite in every way. My mother is white from an educated, affluent family while my father was black from a family that had left sharecropping in Mississippi for the promise of “good†industrial jobs in Michigan. My maternal grandparents live in a home that has been in magazines, belong to a club & sit on various influential boards in multiple states. My paternal grandparents were a cook & a janitor & lived in an area riddled with crime and drugs. I went to a private school where my classmates had pools and planes & then visited my Dad’s family where I slept on a pullout couch in the “hood†and looked forward to penny candy and freezee cups. I have been privy to what both demographics say & do when they feel they are “amongst themselves†and have always tried to be a bridge between the two. It often feels like I’m alone in this space because it is rare for a person to have such unfiltered access to one group while also holding an understanding of the other. This author may not have first person experience in both sects but she is sensitive to both sides in a way I haven’t seen before. To say that I appreciate her & her work feels like an understatement. I hope that other people of color read this & not only feel “seen†but also take the opportunity to see the other side & see that, while it isn’t an excuse, sometimes people really just don’t know any better. At the same time, some DO know better so they’re doing better and it does show in the next generation. I’d also love to see white people, particularly those that are or plan to be parents, read this to (hopefully) check the bias & open their eyes to the ways in which they are shaping their children both consciously & subconsciously. It would be an amazing read for parents of multiracial children or children of another race to get an idea of the ways in which the world may look or feel different to your child than it does to you. In other words, White Kids is a must read for everyone.... but don’t forget your highlighter.
