Review of The Promise of Whiteness: Its Past and Its Future

[Julius Peters]

I appreciate how the book doesn't shy away from addressing the psychological impact of white supremacy on individuals across racial lines. By exploring the concept of 'racial-induced dissonance,' Bireda delves into the complexities of identity and belonging in a society built on racial hierarchies.

Bireda's call for individuals to become proactive agents of change resonates deeply in today's world. By advocating for critical self-reflection and collective action, the book empowers readers to challenge and dismantle systems of oppression, paving the way for a more just and equitable society
