White Male Privilege - by David Goldenkranz (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

White men make up less than a third of the US population, yet we still seem to dominate most of American society. White Male Privilege: How This Happened and Why It's Even Worse Than We Thought offers an unflinching look at the influence of racism and sexism on everything from American politics, criminal justice, health care, and finance to popular dog breeds and even our own front lawns.

Addressing entitlement, collective narcissism, deep-rooted racial insecurities, and repressed trauma, White Male Privilege challenges all White American men to confront ourselves, our history, and to begin the necessary and tough conversations about our complicity in upholding the status quo.
