Bought this book for my college course and it is really interesting, I rented it on the kindle and since I am going into the social work field I purchased the paper back book for my future references.
Nutshell: All white people are hateful racists, but generalizing is wrong.I'd only ever heard of such liberal thinking, didn't think it actually existed. The author was so blatantly anti-white, I thought he was gonna wrap up at the end with some ironic twist where he apologizes for it and makes the point that racism can go in any direction. Nope. White people are still evil. Other disturbing concepts in the book: society is responsible for the bad behavior of individuals (in contrast to personal responsibility), children whose parents are leaders in the home suffer from adultism (have you seen the little terrors spawned from homes where parents AREN'T the leaders?), and that there's no way white people can not be racist and any success they have is due to white privilege. I swear this guy wants to perpetuate racism and make it more of an issue than it is. What a slap in the face to civil rights leaders like Martin Luther King, Jr. who worked so hard to overcome racism for this author to ignore their progress and act like it's still just as big of an issue. Then when I saw that the author lives in Berkeley, it all made sense...
Well written and easy to read. It is the text for my master's level multicultural class, but it is worth a read for anyone.
We had this book for our Grad school for MSW and it is very informative. It is very expensive as well :( that is a sad part
This book is required reading. I cant believe that it is so expensive seeing that the average citation is from the 1970s and 1980s. This guy must have some clout with the text book mafia or something. I totally agree with the other reviewers. This book is virulently antiwhite and operates from the paradigm that only whites and pretty much all whites are racists who dominate other groups through their white privilege. This book should not be used as a scholarly text because it is basically full of generalized anecdotes that are quoted as if real but obviously concocted, The book may have been relevant during the jim crow south but that was 70 years ago and not reality today nor was it nation wide then. This author obviously hates America, does not believe in American values and ascribes all social differences to racism and does not hold anyone accountable for anything they do. I had a heated discussion with my professor over this book and this obsession with race and anti white race shaming that occurs in every class has me seriously considering transferring to another school
Great book, full of very valuable information. Arrived in very good condition
Amazing! Product As Described.
