Focused on some of the most conspicuous forms of social, psychological, and ideological resistance to the very idea of reparations, Whiteness, Fair Play, and Reparation develops a new fairness-based argument designed to help sensitize opponents to the force of more familiar calls for racial redress. Drawing on a range of empirical literature on whites' attitudes toward race-conscious policy, and related sociological analyses of the white moral imagination, the book argues that the lens of "fair play" can help provide socially and morally threatened whites with a psychologically viable route toward appreciating their personal enmeshment within structures of racial hierarchy.
