Summary "While white people in the helping professions are aware of their responsibility to practise without discrimination, they often fail to recognize their own cultural identity and the impact it has when practising in a multicultural environment. Judy Ryde reveals how white people have implicit and explicit advantages and privileges that often go unnoticed by them.
