From the TIME 100 author of the Sunday Times and number 1 New York
Times bestseller So You Want to Talk About Race, a subversive
history of white male American identity. 'One of the most admired
writers and "internet yellers" around... [Mediocre is] ever more
vital... Oluo's meeting the time -- this movement against white
supremacy and systems of oppression. But the question she keeps
asking in her work: Are we?' IBRAM X KENDI 'Mediocre paints an
urgent, honest picture of how white male identity has spawned
unrest in the country's political ideology... It's a necessary read
for the world we live in' CHIDOZIE OBASI, Harper's Bazaar
'[Ijeoma's] books don't come from a place of hate, but of
determination to make change... [Mediocre is] another amazing book'
TREVOR NOAH on The Daily Show What happens to a country that tells
generation after generation of white men that they deserve power?
What happens when success is defined by status over women and
people of colour, instead of actual accomplishments? Through the
last 150 years of American history -- from the post-Reconstruction
South and the mythic stories of cowboys, to the present-day
controversy over NFL protests and the backlash against the rise of
women in politics -- Ijeoma Oluo exposes the devastating
consequences of white male supremacy on women, people of colour,
and white men themselves. As provocative as it is essential,
Mediocre investigates the real costs of white male power in order
to imagine a new white male identity, one free from racism and
sexism. '[An] analytical and compassionate book' New Statesman
'Deftly combines history and sociological study with personal
narrative, and the result is both uncomfortable and illuminating'
Washington Post 'Ijeoma's sharp yet accessible writing about the
American racial landscape made her 2018 book So You Want to Talk
About Race an invaluable resource . . . Mediocre builds on this
exemplary work, homing in on the role of white patriarchy in
creating and upholding a system built to disenfranchise anyone who
isn't a white male' TIME
