Whiteness and Morality 
Pursuing Racial Justice Through Reparations and Sovereignty

This book considers how white U.S.-Americans may participate in racial justice-making, and shows how ‘white’ identities embody problematic moral realities, arguing that reparations for people of African descent and sovereignty for Native peoples are critical for racial justice and transformation of what it means to be white in the United States.
