Williams asks how we might achieve a world where \u201ccolor doesn&#8217;t matter\u201d\u2014where whiteness is not equated with normalcy and blackness with exoticism and danger. Drawing on her own experience, Williams delineates the great divide between &#8220;the poles of other people&#8217;s imagination and the nice calm center of oneself where dignity resides,&#8221; and discusses how it might be bridged as a first step toward resolving racism. Williams offers us a new starting point\u2014\u201ca sensible and sustained consideration\u201d\u2014from which we might begin to deal honestly with the legacy and current realities of our prejudices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seeing a Color-Blind Future: The Paradox of Race Farrar, Straus and Giroux (an imprint of MacMillan) April 1998 84 pages 5 1\/2 x 8 1\/4 inches Paperback ISBN: 978-0-374-52533-0, ISBN10: 0-374-52533-1 Patricia J.
