The topic of white privilege has always triggered widespread debate, and the current media attention to police brutality and race relations in the United States has infused the conversation with highly polarizing, emotional responses.InWhite Privilege: What Everyone Needs to KnowRG, Abby Ferber provides a succinct but in-depth coverage that will serve as a solid foundation for educated conversation. She touches on the essential components of white privilege -- historical context, how it operates at an institutional level, how itis discussed publicly, and how it intersects with other kinds of privilege, including gender, sexuality, and disability. While the book focuses primarily on white privilege in the U.S., Ferber notes how it is experienced globally as well. She further addresses common misconceptions about privilege(e.g., How can I be privileged if I face discrimination too? How can people alive now be held responsible for historical injustices, such as slavery?), and concludes with a section on how white privilege is changing now and into the future.Clear, concise, and informed, this book offers a valuable primer for anyone interested in this complex and often contentious topic.

S. Kimmel, Michael

Routledge

In this new and timely anthology on the experience of privilege in Americaas it relates to holding the identity of the dominant gender, class, race, and sexual preferencesociologists Michael Kimmel and Abby Ferber, along with a wide range of contributors, challenge students to think more critically about the myriad inequalities in society and especially to become more aware of how the dynamics that create inequality for some also benefit others. Designed to be used in both introductory sociology and race, gender, and class courses, this exciting volume asks that privilegeand students' own role in itbecome more visible. With both well-known and previously published pieces as well as new contributions, Privilege uses an intersectional approach” to explore the ways in which race, class, gender and sexuality interact in the lives of those who are privileged by one or more of these identities. Kimmel and Ferber have brought together leading thinkers and writers on all of these dimensions, to examine both the parallels and the ruptures among these different but connected relationships. Writing both personally and analytically, these essays can bring students inside the experiences, and enable us all to begin to theorize our own lives, as well as to explore the ways in which these systems intersect in people's lives.

White Man Falling: Race, Gender, and White Supremacy

Using excerpts and illustrations from rarely seen publications like White Patriot and White Power, this book explores the world of white supremacists and the way they imagine racial and gender identity. Discussing groups like the Ku Klux Klan and the Neo-Nazis, White Man Falling provides a history of race as a concept, as well as a history of the white supremacist movement. Ferber's provocative critique examines these groups' firm belief that white men are becoming victims and the repercussions of their attempts to assert white male power.
