Lesson Overview
“What is Whiteness?” explores the concept of whiteness, tracing its historical evolution and the impact of white supremacy culture on our country’s racial hierarchy. The zine discusses the privileges linked to whiteness, white privilege and white-passing privilege. It encourages youth to consider how they might be knowingly or unknowingly contributing to these norms. A culminating call to action asks youth to think about ways they and their communities can dismantle white dominant norms in their daily lives. This is part of the collaborative 4-part zine series, #IYKYK.
