Authors:
Feeling White integrates both creative writing and theoretical writing to explicate its points
The book not only discusses emotions, but is written in a way that makes the reader feel the emotionalities of whiteness that need interrogation; plainly stated, readers will feel discomfort, a necessary product for racial justice
Books on whiteness are often written by white scholars or focus solely on whiteness, which is later critiqued for re-centering whiteness; Feeling White, however, is not only written by a scholar of color, it is also written in a way to show to interconnectivity between how whiteness impacts both whites AND people of color
Part of the book series: Cultural Pluralism Democracy, Socio-Environmental Justice & Education (CPDS)

About this book
“Drawing on her deep wisdom about how race works, Cheryl Matias directly interrogates the emotional arsenal White people use as shields from the pain of confronting racism, peeling back its layers to unearth a core of love that can open us up. In Feeling White: Whiteness, Emotionality, and Education, Matias deftly names and deconstructs distancing emotions, prodding us to stay in the conversation in order to become teachers who can reach children marginalized by racism.” – Christine Sleeter, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus, California State University, Monterey Bay
“In Feeling White, Cheryl E. Matias blends astute observations, analyses and insights about the emotions embedded in white identity and their impact on the racialized politics of affect in teacher education. Drawing deftly on her own classroom experiences as well as her mastery of the methodologies and theories of critical whiteness studies, Matias challenges us to develop what Dr. King called ‘the strength to love’ by confronting and conquering the affective structures that promote white innocence and preclude white accountability.” – George Lipsitz, Ph.D., Professor, University of California, Santa Barbara, and author of The Possessive Investment in Whiteness
Cheryl E. Matias, Ph.D., is an assistant professor in the School of Education and Human Development at the University of Colorado Denver. She is a motherscholar of three children, including boy-girl twins."
