Praise for White Men Challenging Racism:

"These self-portraits speak of courage, empowerment, and overcoming the obstacles in joining collective action. . . . So, what do we do with these stories of valor, resolve, and dignity? We can use them as classroom material to illustrate that politics in America is not just about ‘stupid or angry white men.’ Undergraduate students are likely to appreciate that insight."

Javier Auyero, Contemporary Sociology

"In addition to trying to come to terms with their race and gender, these men address issues about their sexuality, religion, economic situations, families, relationships, parenting, jobs, and past traumas. The book succeeds because it soberly presents the victories, risks, and personal sacrifices of men who do antiracist work."

Loren Frankel, Journal of Men’s Studies
