"Yancy shares his experience as a black male philosophy professor teaching topics on race to white students. He very effectively uses a quasi-autobiographical narrative to situate various issues regarding race within the classroom, which he takes to be a model of racial discourse that mirrors American society... Summing Up: Recommended." Choice, December 2012 "George Yancy's Look, A White! Is not an introductory book, but its rich offering of examples of white privilege from university settings would make it particularly attractive to college students, as well as faculty...a beneficial addition to the growing field of critical philosophy of race."- Radical Philosophy
