By integrating composition and rhetoric with critical whiteness studies, the authors explore how whiteness and racism persist in higher education. They analyze the impact of racism on literacy practices and the rhetoric that upholds white privilege, addressing themes like emotional ties to whiteness and the influence of personal narratives on racial identities. Through alternating chapters, Ryden and Marshall engage in a dialogue that reveals the complexities of teaching English in a racially charged environment, urging educators to critically examine the role of whiteness in their practices.
