In \u003ci\u003eBeyond the White Negro\u003c\/i\u003e, Kimberly Chabot Davis claims such a view fails to describe the varied politics of racial crossover in the past fifteen years.\u003cbr\u003e   \u003cbr\u003e  Davis analyzes how white engagement with African American novels, film narratives, and hip-hop can help form anti-racist attitudes that may catalyze social change and racial justice. Though acknowledging past failures to establish cross-racial empathy, she focuses on examples that show avenues for future progress and change. Her study of ethnographic data from book clubs and college classrooms shows how engagement with African American culture and pedagogical support can lead to the kinds of white self-examination that make empathy possible. The result is a groundbreaking text that challenges the trend of focusing on society's failures in achieving cross-racial empathy and instead explores possible avenues for change.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ch-level-1\"\u003eCover\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ch-level-1\"\u003eTitle\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ch-level-1\"\u003eContents\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ch-level-1\"\u003eList of Illustrations\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ch-level-1\"\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ch-level-1\"\u003eIntroduction.
