Innovative…Practical…Timely
Great Supplemental Text for College Classes
Perfect Resource for Diversity Training
A Must-Read—Like No Other Work on Racial Privilege

The Great White Elephant brings new insights to racial privilege. Although “racial privilege” is not a new term in diversity studies, the authors, Robin Parker and Pamela Smith Chambers, point out an essential truth: “As a society, we don’t want to talk about the topic.” In fact, they say that we don’t want to talk about why we don’t want to talk about it. Thus, it becomes the proverbial “’elephant in the room,’ that loudly trumpets over our conversations, knocks over all the furniture that would otherwise provide a comfortable place for us to meet, and sends people…running for safety.”

Parker and Chambers take this difficult topic and teach valuable lessons of hope and change. Through provocative exercises like an analysis of the Cinderella fairy tale, or examining societal rules of denial, readers find wholly new ways to think about race and race relations. The workbook also offers a practical and engaging foundation on racial privilege, and a resource that stimulates thinking and encourages readers to become active participants in the solution to one of the thorniest issues confronting our workplaces, schools, and communities.

The Great White Elephant shines as a book for individuals just starting to learn about racial privilege and for established diversity practitioners. It features:

• In-book exercises
• An emphasis on experiential learning and personal reflection
• A new mental model for addressing racial privilege
• Instruction on how one “Big Question” can change racial awareness
