Marshals evidence to show that the definition of who is "white" is changing, with nonblack minorities accepting the perspectives of the white majority group and, in turn, being assimilated.

Sociologist George Yancey critiques four models of race (colorblindness, Anglo-conformity, multiculturalism and white responsibility), and introduces a new model (mutual responsibility). He offers hope that people of all races can walk together on a shared path toward racial reconciliation--not as adversaries but as collaborators and partners.
