About the event
As Dr. Francois writes in the introduction to his book, "A more insidious white noise distracts us into perpetual sleep meant to safeguard the status quo of racism. I categorize the racist ideas, speech, silence, and misrepresentations that protect and perpetuate Whiteness as white noise. When I discuss Whiteness in this book, I am not referring to skin color but rather to conscious or unconscious deference to unfounded notions of White superiority," (p 13-14). The book may be purchased through Brazos Press or Amazon in paperback, ebook, or audiobook form. It is recommended, but not necessary, that you read the book prior to this webinar.
