Von der hinteren Coverseite

"A beautiful, honest invitation to a better way of being human"

As a white Afrikaner woman growing up in South Africa during apartheid, Idelette McVicker was steeped in a community and a church that reinforced racism and shielded her from seeing her neighbors' oppression.

In Recovering Racists, McVicker shares her journey over thirty years and across three continents to shatter the lies of white supremacy embedded deep within her soul. She helps white Christians realize that grappling with the legacy of white supremacy is a lifelong work that requires both inner transformation and societal change.

"Rejecting white supremacy is work that we all need to do. It has humanized Idelette and relocated her in the human family as a daughter, sister, friend, and accomplice in the work of loving all God's children. I count it a privilege to have witnessed some of the steps along this precious way of love."
--Rev. René August, The Warehouse

"What a powerful book. Idelette is one of my greatest teachers, and I recommend her work with my whole heart."
--Sarah Bessey, editor of the New York Times bestseller A Rhythm of Prayer and author of Jesus Feminist

"A beautiful, honest invitation to a better way of being human in which we embrace each other fully--I hope you'll accept it."
--Kaitlin B. Curtice, author of Native: Identity, Belonging, and Rediscovering God

"A heartbreakingly honest and gloriously transparent account of the other side of racism, the one most of us deny. I hope and pray that everyone everywhere will read this book."
--Danielle Strickland, communicator, advocate, and author of Better Together

"An absolute must-read for white people seeking to be recovering racists and anti-racists."
--Karen González, immigration advocate and author of The God Who Sees: Immigrants, the Bible, and the Journey to Belong

"McVicker's honest grappling with whiteness makes way for us all to lean in and learn from someone who has done the work to reclaim our humanity."
--Tiffany Bluhm, author of Prey Tell and cohost of the Why Tho podcast
