Prompted by Eric Holder's charge, that as Americans, we are cowards when it comes to discussing the issue of race, noted philosopher George Yancy's essays map out a structure of whiteness. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e He considers whiteness within the context of racial embodiment, film, pedagogy, colonialism, its \"danger,\" and its position within the work of specific writers. Identifying the embedded and opaque ways white power and privilege operate, Yancy argues that the Black countergaze can function as a \"gift\" to whites in terms of seeing their own whiteness more effectively. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Throughout \u003ci\u003eLook, a White!\u003c\/i\u003e Yancy pays special attention to the impact of whiteness on individuals, as well as on how the structures of whiteness limit the capacity of social actors to completely untangle the way whiteness operates, thus preventing the erasure of racism in social life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeorge Yancy is Associate Professor of Philosophy at Duquesne University and Coordinator of the Critical Race Theory Speaker Series.
