Critical race theory needs to be done. In this text, a philosophically grounded critical race theory is done very well. This volume, in which Cornel West offers a foreword, partly serves as a key philosophical intervention onto the scene of critical whiteness studies. Along with the groundbreaking works by David Roediger and David Theo Goldberg, the first half of this text presents white scholars writing on their experiences of, and critical thoughts on, whiteness. Chapters of note include those by Robert Bernasconi, Anna Stubblefield, and Bettina Bergo. The second half of the text is, as can now be expected of Yancy's editorial mastery, brilliant. The black philosophers' contributions to this volume, especially those by Clarence Shole Johnson, Robert Birt, and Kal Alston, offer critical engagements in the discipline known as critical race theory, a domain mistakenly reserved for critical legal scholars, historians, and sociologists. Highly recommended.

Synopsis
White on White/Black on Black is a unique contribution to the philosophy of race. The book explores how fourteen philosophers, seven white and seven black, philosophically understand the dynamics of the process of racialization. Combined, the contributions demonstrate different and similar conceptual trajectories of raced identities that emerge from within and across the racial divide. Each of the fourteen philosophers, who share a textual space of exploration, name blackness/whiteness, revealing significant political, cultural, and existential aspects of what it means to be black/white. Through the power of naming and theorizing whiteness and blackness, White on White/Black on Black dares to bring clarity and complexity to our understanding of race identity., White on White/Black on Black is a unique contribution to the philosophy of race. The text explores how 14 philosophers, 7 white and 7 black, philosophically understand the dynamics of the process of racialization.
