White Privilege: The Persistence of Racial Hierarchy in a Culture
of Denial approaches the discussion of racism by focusing on
majority group advantage, or white privilege. The book explores the
construct of race and the definition of white privilege and then
examines the ways in which white privilege manifests in economy,
education, criminal justice, and especially within media and pop
culture. The book balances scholarly research on racial
discrimination and disparity with narratives that provide the
reader with highly personal accounts of injustice. Dedicated
chapters demonstrate how microaggressions emerge in unexpected
places and situations, as well as how they contribute to the
development and maintenance of institutional racism.
Intersectionality sections throughout the book explore how class,
gender, and sexual orientation shape how white privilege is
experienced by individuals. Finally, the text offers a myriad of
strategies and approaches to end injustice and cultivate
anti-racist practices. The revised first edition features a new
final chapter, which brings the text's content up to date and
addresses healthcare and white privilege; #BlackLivesMatter, George
Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and justice; implicit bias and systemic
racism; white terrorism; COVID-19 and economic sexism; and
anti-Asian violence. White Privilege is an ideal supplementary
resource for courses on race, diversity, and social inequality.
