White Privilege: The Myth of a Post-Racial Society

Autor Kalwant Bhopal
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 apr 2018
One of the major features of politics in the past few years has been a renewed attention to race as a driving factor in both politics and everyday life. How, after decades of civil rights activism, do people from black and minority ethnic communities continue to be marginalized? In White Privilege, Kalwant Bhopal draws on social science research and political and economic analysis to show how people from black and minority backgrounds are continually positioned as outsiders in public discourse and interpersonal interaction. Neoliberal policies only increase that tendency, as their effects exacerbate long-standing patterns of minority disadvantage. Bhopal’s book is rooted in dispassionate analysis, but its message is unmistakable—the structural advantages of whiteness are widespread, and dismantling them will require both honesty about their power and determination to change them.

Recenzii

White Privilege offers a captivating rebuttal to the logics of post-racialism in public discourse that shore up whiteness as a hegemonic force on both sides of the Atlantic. . . An accessible contemporary primer on whiteness and white privilege that should be read by students and scholars of education, institutional racism, and critical race studies.”

“Those from black and minority ethnic backgrounds are consistently disadvantaged. . . Bhopal connects this inequality to neoliberalism in ways I hadn’t considered before.”

"White Privilege: The Myth of a Post-Racial Society by Kalwant Bhopal ⁣explores the impact of race on multiple issues in our world today, from inequality to difference in society."
