This book resists the notion that racism is 'just' an issue in the Southern United States. In his witty and engaging voice, JPB navigates how whiteness operates in invisible ways in areas of the world thought of as nice, progressive, or 'not racist'. This is a must-read for teacher-scholars in language studies and beyond. * Yasmine Romero, University of Hawaii West Oahu, USA * Through vivid narratives, candid interviews, and incisive analysis, Gerald explores how whiteness and language ideologies operate across diverse contexts. Rather than offering easy answers, this book opens a dialogue. It challenges readers to interrogate assumptions, embrace complexity, and, above all, listen. In an era of polarization, Gerald models what it means to engage critically yet generously, weaving together multiple perspectives without closing the door on debate. * Clara Vaz Bauler, Adelphi University, USA *
