![]() | Was Blind, But Now I See: White Race Concsiousness and the Law Subjects: African Americans -- Legal status laws etc.; Race discrimination -- Law and legislation -- United States.; United States -- Race relations.; Race does not speak to most white people. Rather, whites tend to associate race with people of color and to equate whiteness with racelessness. As Barbara J. Flagg demonstrates in this important book, this "transparency" phenomenon--the invisibility of whiteness to white people--profoundly affects the ways in whites make decisions: they rely on criteria perceived by the decision maker as race-neutral but which in fact reflect white, race-specific norms. |
