abstract
Six anti-racist White feminist activists shared stories of engaging in anti-racist activism. Critical race feminism and intersectionality provide the theoretical framework supporting this transformative inquiry. Through interviews, a focus group, and guided reflections, activists shared their understanding of their White racial identity, influences on their identity development, and their experiences engaging in anti-racist activism. Participants' white identity development consisted of experiences of anger and resistance, shame and guilt, creating a new version of whiteness, and pride in racial identity. Influences on identities included sexual violence, women's studies and ethnic studies classes, involvement and activism, family relationships, and relationships with People of Color. Importance of community, everyday activism, internal dialogue and hyper-awareness, and the fear of appearing racist emerged as themes related to the experiences of engaging in anti-racist activism. Implications for student affairs and social justice educators include supporting integrated learning, community building, and self-awareness. Future directions for research and implications for women's studies, student development, and intersectionality scholars are also provided. note
