Confessions of "Good Girls" Born of White Supremacy
Here's what others have to say.
William Kent Krueger, New York Times Bestseller
Most of us in the majority culture in the United States have grown up with little or no awareness of the insidious ways in which white supremacy has shaped our lives and our consciousness. With great insight and compelling candor, J. Ann Craig and Heather Craig-Oldsen, two sisters, examine their life journeys and the incidents and encounters with other cultures that have transformed their understanding of their own histories and the history of this nation. Confessions of “Good Girls” Born of White Supremacy is a perfect read for any individual or group intent on exploring the issue of white supremacy and its negative influence on the lives of so many. I challenge anyone to read this book without a profound shift in their awareness and a deep desire for personal transformation.
Sister Sarah Kohles, OSF & Professor of Theology
Through courageous and vulnerable storytelling, Confessions of “Good Girls” seeks to undermine white supremacy by taking a discerning look at how it has shaped the lives of two sisters, J. Ann Craig and Heather Craig-Oldsen. Powerfully, relatably, and unflinchingly, they reveal embarrassing moments and mistakes they’ve made in their interrace relationships. This book creates space for uncomfortable topics like the power of white women’s tears to derail needed conversations on racism and the links between bigotry and homophobia. The sisters offer important conversation starters as they weave together their life experiences, ground these experiences in a deeper historical context, and provide meaningful questions for each chapter. Written by well-meaning white women to other well-meaning white people, this book seeks to transform the world, one life, one story, one moment of self-reflection at a time.
