"Through unflinching and impeccable scholarship, White Work and Reparative Genealogy weaves separated narratives of slave/owner; Black/white; self/other; past/present into a single, silken thread of reckoning." - G.A. Bradshaw, Founder, The Kerulos Center for Nonviolence; author of Elephants on the Edge "Watkins shows us that truth-telling must begin with a willingness to uncover painful personal histories. With her, we are fortunate to have an expert guide." - Roger Frie, Professor, Simon Fraser University, Canada; author of Not in My Family "A unique and valuable read. Watkins weaves together deep family history with psychological theory and possibilities for reparative action. The story and analysis are compelling and insightful." - Shelly Tochluk, author of Witnessing Whiteness "Watkins guides white people to engage in deep ancestral recovery and carry forward a radical vision of reparations." - David Dean, political educator and author of Roots Deeper than Whiteness What does it mean to reckon with a legacy of white supremacy? White Work and Reparative Genealogy invites white-identifying readers on a courageous journey into the heart of ancestral memory, historical accountability, and racial repair. Clinical psychologist Mary Watkins traces her family's lineage from 1607 Jamestown through generations of slave ownership and racial violence in the American South. Blending personal narrative, historical research, and psychological insight, Watkins models a practice of "white work"-a form of reparative genealogy that confronts the silences and distortions in white family histories. With reflective questions at the end of each chapter, this book offers practical tools for readers ready to explore their own histories and take action toward racial justice. This is a book for those who seek to move through guilt and shame-not around them-toward healing, solidarity, and shared liberation. Mary Watkins, Ph.D., is a clinical psychologist, educator, and activist whose work has helped reorient psychology toward social justice, decoloniality, and collective liberation. Her influential books-including Toward Psychologies of Liberation and Mutual Accompaniment and the Creation of the Commons-have supported grassroots movements and reimagined how communities confront historical trauma.
