Being White in the Helping Professions is an evocative exploration of one woman's journey into a deeper awareness of what it means to be white in a racialized context and the implications of a white racial identity for those in the helping professions... Throughout her book Ryde urges white helping professionals to embark on the journey of self-discovery that leads to ownership of a white identity and all its accompanying privileges and responsibilities. In Being White in the Helping Professions, she provides a useful guidebook and a travel case of practical tools that can be helpful for any spiritual director or formation program.
