Cover Page -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Contents -- Foreword -- Author's Note -- Preface -- 1. Pulling Back the Veil -- 2. Releasing Control -- 3. Tension -- 4. The Stakes -- 5. Endurance as Resistance -- 6. Community Care as Resistance -- 7. Joy as Resistance -- 8. The Cost -- 9. Transformation -- Acknowledgments -- Notes.
Elle Dowd invites readers to experience her transformation from what Martin Luther King Jr. referred to as "the white moderate" into an Assata Shakur-reading, courthouse-occupying abolitionist. Like in baptism, this alteration requires parts of us to die--our tone policing, white niceness, respectability politics--so that we may be reborn.
