Winner of the 2019 AERA Division J Outstanding Publication Award and the 2019 ASHE Outstanding Book Award
On April 22, 2015, Boston University professor Saida Grundy set off a Twitter storm with her provocative question: Why is white America so reluctant to identify white college males as a problem population? White Guys on Campus is a critical examination of race in higher education, centering Whiteness, in an effort to unveil the frequently unconscious habits of racism among White male undergraduates. Nolan L. Cabrera moves beyond the few bad apples frame of contemporary racism, and explores the structures, policies, ideologies, and experiences that allow racism to flourish. This book details many of the contours of contemporary, systemic racism, while engaging the possibility of White students to participate in anti-racism. Ultimately, White Guys on Campus calls upon institutions of higher education to be sites of social transformation instead of reinforcing systemic racism, while creating a platform to engage and challenge the public discourse of post- racialism.

For Joaqun
Those who profess to favor freedom and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without ploughing the ground; they want rain without thunder and lightning; they want the ocean without the roar of its many waters. The struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, or it may be both. But it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both.
Frederick Douglass
Saying Im obsessed with race and racism in America is like saying that Im obsessed with swimming while Im drowning. Its absurd.
Hari Kondabolu

When I began conducting scholarly work on racism, I thought it might be a laudable long-term goal to write the first book on Whiteness in higher education. I quickly realized that book has been written several times under such titles as What Matters in College (Astin, 1993), How College Affects Students (Pascarella & Terenzini, 2005), and Leaving College (Tinto, 1987). This is not meant as a jab at the foundational texts of the field of higher education. Rather, I wanted to highlight the strong vein of Whiteness that each one of these seminal books has embedded within it. For example, Tinto (1987) conducted a critical synthesis of the higher education scholarship to identify the factors that contribute to students leaving college. However, the bulk of the scholarship he reviewed relied on samples that were disproportionately White, and his theorizing has been critiqued for this (e.g., Tierney, 1992). Instead of calling his text Leaving College for White Students , Tinto universalized his language and spoke of college students, rendering omnipresent Whiteness invisible.
This is a simple example of how Whiteness is embedded into the very structures of society. It did not take Tinto overtly trying to prioritize White experiences to make Whiteness a central component of his theorizing. Racism is so engrained in the fabric of U.S. society that Bonilla-Silva (2006) argued we live in a country of Racism Without Racists . That is, it does not take intentionally racist actions to perpetuate racism, as the normality of Whiteness will do. This normality is precisely why engaging issues of race and racism is so difficult. In order to address this issue, one has to be able to first name the problem. When Whiteness is named, there is a predictable responsea lot of White outrage (e.g., White Fragility; DiAngelo, 2011). This anger tends to become more intense when people agitate for racial equity because, as the internet philosopher Anonymous offered, When youre accustomed to privilege, equity feels like oppression.
This dynamic is precisely why, when writing this book, the image of the Fighting Whites mascot was a perfect visual metaphor for the work, but a little history is necessary. In Colorado, the mascot for Eaton High School was the Fightin Reds. When some Native students at Northern Colorado University said the mascot was stereotypical and offensive (e.g., misshapen nose, loin cloth, and eagle feather), they were told by White school officials and community members that there was nothing racist about the Fightin Reds (Johansen, 2010). Within this context, the students created the Fighting Whites mascot for their university intramural basketball team (Klyde-Silverstein, 2012). If there was nothing wrong with a stereotypical Native mascot, it should be acceptable to have a stereotypical White mascot, correct? Wrong! The outrage and backlash were swift. The same people who found nothing racist about the Fightin Reds mascot were fiercely critical of the Fighting Whites, ignoring the fact that the latter was satirizing the former (Johansen, 2010). That is, they were more upset at a critique of racism than at actual instances of racism. This dynamic was present throughout my research for White Guys on Campus. The large bulk of White guys I spoke with were more upset about imagined racism against White people than about actual racism against People of Color.
