About this listen

An acclaimed expert illuminates the distinctive role that White women play in perpetuating racism, and how they can work to fight it.

In a nation deeply divided by race, the “Karens” of the world are easy to villainize. But in Nice White Ladies, Jessie Daniels addresses the unintended complicity of even well-meaning White women. She reveals how their everyday choices harm communities of color. White mothers, still expected to be the primary parents, too often uncritically choose to send their kids to the “best” schools, collectively leading to a return to segregation. She addresses a feminism that pushes women of color aside, and a wellness industry that insulates White women in a bubble of their own privilege.

Daniels then charts a better path forward. She looks to the White women who fight neo-Nazis online and in the streets, and who challenge all-White spaces from workplaces to schools to neighborhoods. In the end, she shows how her fellow White women can work toward true equality for all.

Critic reviews

“This nation has never, ever read anything like Nice White Ladies, and it shows every single day. Paragraph after paragraph, Jessie Daniels illustrates that's it's not enough just to say what no one is saying. We must, as she does, write what is rarely spoken with supreme skill and a desire to substantiate our claims as though our lives depended on it. I'd love to live in a world where every White woman on Earth reads this book. It could change everything.” (Kiese Laymon, author of Heavy: An American Memoir)

“Mixing stories of her own youth and family with current events, Daniels calls in all White women to look at where they were, where they are, and where they are going. Instead of shying away from difficult truths, she invites readers to sit with them - to look across the table or into the next cubicle and see the impact of generations of choices. As uncomfortable as it is necessary.” (Mikki Kendall, New York Times best-selling author of Hood Feminism)

“Once again, Jessie Daniels has given us a crucial book for understanding race in America. This should be required reading for all who want to dismantle racist systems that limit what could otherwise be possible.” (Safiya Noble, author of Algorithms of Oppression)
