His critically-acclaimed memoir, White Like Me: Reflections on Race from a Privileged Son (2007), is taught at hundreds of colleges and high schools across the United States. His other books include Affirmative Action: Racial Preference in Black and White (2005); Speaking Treason Fluently; Anti-Racist Reflections from an Angry White Male (2008); Between Barack and a Hard Place: Racism and White Denial in the Age of Obama(2009); and Colorblind: The Rise of Post-Racial Politics and the Retreat from Racial Equity (2010).
