Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"A brilliant and compassionate book. A dazzling integration of high theory and splendid story." * Sylvia A. Law, Professor Emerita NYU Law School *
"Unlocks a critical piece of the puzzle that activists and scholars have called ‘subordination.’ It reveals the complex interaction of systems of privilege. Yet the analysis is compelling, personal, and completely accessible. By breaking the silence about our unwritten rules,
Privilege Revealed demonstrates how to reject privilege and embrace inclusion in a way that lights our passage toward the end of the tunnel." * Lisa C. Ikemoto, U.C. Davis School of Law *
"Speaks with powerful understanding and empathy about privilege and subordination. In these times of backlash, when our politicians speak only in words that divide us,
Privilege Revealed gives us a language to help us discover our common cause in the struggle against oppression." * Charles R. Lawrence III, Professor Emeritus Richardson School of Law, University of Hawai'i, Manoa *
"A remarkably readable and persuasive account of how problematic the status quo actually is … This book can and should be read by an audience far beyond the usual readers of books about law." * Aviam Soifer, University of Hawai‘i Richardson School of Law *
"
Privilege Revealed, by Stephanie M. Wildman, displays a new way of thinking about the continuing problem of racial subordination in this country … This book explores the use of a new vocabulary about privilege. Thus,
Privilege Revealed is an important contribution to the effort to rethink how the U.S. describes the role of race." * Cleveland State Law Review *
"The book's major achievement is to make visible the many ways in which people with certain identities benefit from their privileged positions." * Peace Review *
