About the Podcast
On one level, it seems Americans talk about race and ethnicity all the time. The news media always seem to be reacting to the latest racial “incident,” while pundits ponder “race relations” year in and year out. And yet.
The premise of this series is that the American conversation about race, and the stories we tell ourselves about race and ethnicity, are deeply incomplete and often misleading. We need new stories and new understandings about our history and our current racial and ethnic reality.
Host and producer, John Biewen, set out to take a different kind of look at race and ethnicity by looking directly at the elephant in the room: white people and whiteness. White supremacy was encoded in the DNA of the United States and white people dominate American life and its institutions to this day. And yet, whiteness too often remains invisible, unmarked, and unnamed.
In embarking on this journey into whiteness, past and present, Biewen sought guidance from an array of leading scholars and from professor, journalist, artist and organizer, Dr. Chenjerai Kumanyika.
