With a new preface and updated chapters, "White Like Me" is
one-part memoir, one-part polemical essay collection. It is a
personal examination of the way in which racial privilege shapes
the daily lives of white Americans in every realm: employment,
education, housing, criminal justice, and elsewhere.
Using stories from his own life, Tim Wise demonstrates the ways in
which racism not only burdens people of color, but also benefits,
in relative terms, those who are "white like him." He discusses how
racial privilege can harm whites in the long run and make
progressive social change less likely. He explores the ways in
which whites can challenge their unjust privileges, and explains in
clear and convincing language why it is in the best interest of
whites themselves to do so. Using anecdotes instead of stale
statistics, Wise weaves a narrative that is at once readable and
yet scholarly, analytical and yet accessible.
