Frederick Douglass: A Critical Reader (Blackwell Critical Readers Series)
This is indeed a pretty incredible book using white anti-racists personal stories to reclaim the history of white folks struggling against white supremacy in the late 20th Century. There's solid stuff here on the civil rights movement, the new left, radical anti-imperialism, women's liberation, and the Central America Solidarity struggles detailing the ways in which white radicals worked for racial justice in solidarity with people of color. This is important history that we need to know and learn from. The stories the activists tell are often incredibly inspiring and there's real wisdom in here. Unfortunately in too often falls into the trap of individualism and guilt tripping. Both revolutionary Marxists and liberal bourgeois nonprofit bureacrats seem to fall in the scope of this book, which seems to point to an certain lack of political clarity. The fight against white supreamacy is absolutely central to the creation of a free society, but we need to remember that it's about collective struggle, and that being a good white person when it comes to race is worth struggling for, but it's sure as hell not enough.
