White Spaces Missing Faces: Why Women of Color Don’t Trust White Women
by Catrice M. Jackson
“A direct message to white women feminists, Catrice Jackson calls on white feminists to wake the fuck up and do the internal work necessary to understand how we are the white terror.
Jackson provides examples of microaggressions and macroaggressions, anecdotes reflecting the experience of black women and women of color, clear definitions of white ignorance-entitlement-power, and helpful reflective questions for white people doing the internal work to dismantle their own racism. All these elements together offer a path to creating safer environments for black women and women of color, from our work places to our friend spaces.
A short book, Catrice delivers a succinct and clear call for white women to be accomplices in making the world safer for truly all women.”
