by Robert Paul Wolff
- 1 Want to read
"Autobiography of an Ex-White Man is an intensely personal meditation on the nature of America by a White philosopher who joined a Black Studies department and found his understanding of the world transformed by the experience. The book begins with an autobiographical narrative of the events leading up to Wolff's transfer from a philosophy department to the W.E.B. Du Bois Department of Afro-American Studies at the University of Massachusetts, and his experiences in the department with his new colleagues, all of whom had come to academia from the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. Wolff discovered that the apparently simple act of moving across campus to a new department in a new building worked a startling change in the way he saw himself, his university, and his country."--Jacket
