What is Whiteness Is Not an Ancestor : Essays on Life and Lineage by White Women about?

xxix, 155 pages ; 23 cm Using the lens of inherited trauma and family history, Whiteness Is Not an Ancestor offers a hopeful, humanizing path for dismantling whiteness. For over two decades, family constellations facilitator and therapist Lisa Iversen has been working with groups, including descendants of ancestors who have perpetrated harm or been victimized in circumstances of injustice. In this collection of essays, she brings together twelve white women who explore the role of whiteness in collective movements of immigration, colonialism, slavery, and war. Through genealogical research, family documents, and deep reflection, these writers from the US, Canada, and the UK disentangle themes of innocence, grief, race, privilege, and belonging in their families and ancestries. Each essayist shares moving stories and anecdotes from their life, adding historical and cultural context to current conversations about white women's role in creating and sustaining whiteness Includes bibliographical references Foreword to Whiteness is not an ancestor: essays on life and lineage by white women / Lisa Iversen -- Bloodlines: a legal lynching and a family's reckoning / Sonya Lea -- Roots, borde
