Read something which shed light on a bunch of stuff. It's the chapter "From race cognizance to racism cognizance: dilemmas in antiracist activism in California", by Ellen Kaye Scott, from the book Feminism and Antiracism: International Struggles for Justice (edited by France Winddance Twine and Kathleen M. Blee. NYU Press, New York, 2001

I really appreciate your blog and the good insight you have on racism a anti-racist efforts.

Thanks for sharing about the book about race cognizance. I'm a huge fan of France Winddance Twine, so I'm excited to read especially since she edited it.

Thanks so much! I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've encountered France Winddance Twine - can you recommend something else she's written?

Of course. You should pick up Racing Research: Researching Race, it's a book about the research she conducted in Brazil and how she experienced blatant racism and color-ism while down there. A professor of mine used to be married to her and that's how I know some of the inside scoop!

Aha! :) Thanks, I'll keep an eye out for that!
