Twelve Steps for White America: Workbook

Twelve Steps for White America: For a United States of America answers the revolutionary call of James Baldwin in "The Fire Next Time" for new standards for white Americans.

Educator and former psychotherapist, William Watson presents a treatment plan for democracy, an innovative framework of steps white Americans can take (and all individuals and organizations can incorporate) to eliminate rigged advantage, which relies on white supremacy and anti-Blackness.

Developed to complement the book by the same name, Twelve Steps for White America: Workbook presents a user-friendly, graphic-rich toolkit that guides you to learn each step and achieve each step's learning outcome. (Step Four is enriched by Christine Sleeter's specially created assessment that contextualizes family history.)

Additionally, Advanced Mastery Exercises challenge you to practice fundamental change principles, counter ideological impermeability, discern the difference between an idealized and realized USA, quantify racial wealth inequality, dismantle the whiteness presumption of whereabouts authority (PWA) over Black Americans, recognize the power dynamics of interruption, practice loving kindness meditation, and implement a daily program of personal practice to consecrate liberty free from rigged advantage.
