Mark Federman, principal of East Side Community High School in New York City, is a man on a rather dubious mission. In a burst of “wokeness,” Federman sent white parents of students in grades 6-12 a handout asking them to “reflect” on their “whiteness.” It was accompanied by a color-coordinated graph of “8 White Identities,” ranging from a red zone on the left titled “White Supremacist” to a green zone on the far right labeled “White Abolitionist.” This screed was authored by Barnor Hesse, a Northwestern University professor of African American studies, political science, and sociology.

It’s about time we build an ethnography of whiteness, since white people have been the ones writing about and governing Others.”
