The old notion that 'being white means never having to think about it' is beingchallenged on all fronts, as whites are increasingly having to wrestle with what it means to be part of a fast-changing, truly multicultural nation. In Dear White America Tim Wise directly addresses white people's growing concerns about the demographic, political, and cultural shifts displacing their power and privilege.

Reviews for Dear White America: Letter to a New Minority

<br> Tim Wise has written another blockbuster! His new book, 'Dear White America: Letter to a New Minority, ' is a cogent analysis of the problems of race and inequality as well as a plea for those who harbor views about race and racism to modify and indeed eliminate them. While the book's title addresses white people, this is really a book for anyone who is concerned about eliminating the issue of racial disparity in our society. This is must read and a good read. -- Charles J. Ogletree, Jr., the Jesse Climenko Professor of Law at Harvard Law School and the Executive Director of the Charles Hamilton Houston Institute for Race and Justice. He is the author of a number of books, including The Presumption of Guilt: The Arrest of Henry Louis Gates, Jr. and Race, Class and Crime in America <br> Tim Wise is an American hero in the truest sense of the term - he tells the truth, no matter how inconvenient that truth might be. 'Dear White America' is a desperately needed response to thee
