Being White in the Helping Professions: Developing Effective Intercultural Awareness; Contents; FOREWORD BY COLIN LAGO; INTRODUCTION: LOOKING IN THE MIRROR; Part 1 Experiencing Whiteness in a Racialized Context; Chapter 1 Being White; Chapter 2 Discovering Whiteness Toge; Chapter 3 Shame and Guilt; Part 2 The Practice of White Helping Professionals within a Racialized Context; Chapter 4 The Core Beliefs that Underpin Our Work; Chapter 5 Practising with White Awareness as Profession; Part 3 White Organizations within a Racialized Context.
In this reflective yet practical book, the author challenges white helping professionals to recognize their own cultural identity and the impact it has when practising in a multicultural environment. Judy Ryde reveals how white people have implicit and explicit advantages and privileges that often go unnoticed by them. She suggests that in order to work effectively in a multicultural setting, this privilege needs to be fully acknowledged and confronted. She explores whether it is possible to talk about a white identity, addresses uncomfortable feelings such as guilt or shame, and offers advice.
