BasicBinding: Hardcover
Author: McMillan, Tracie
Publisher: Henry Holt & Company
Date Published: 04-2024
ISBN: 1250619424 | EAN: 9781250619426
BasicBinding: Hardcover
Features: Bibliography, Dust Cover, Index, Price on Product | Pages: 464
Annotation: "In THE WHITE BONUS, Tracie McMillan asks a provocative question about racism in America: When people of color are denied so much, what are white people given? And how much is it worth--not in amorphous privilege, but in dollars and cents? McMillan begins with three generations of her family, tracking their modest wealth to its roots: American policy that helped whites first. Simultaneously, she details the complexities of their advantage, exploring her mother's death in a nursing home, at 44, on Medicaid; her family's implosion; and a small inheritance from a banker grandfather. In the process, McMillan puts a cash value to whiteness in her life and assesses its worth. McMillan then expands her investigation to four other white subjects of different generations across the U.S. Alternating between these subjects and her family, McMillan shows how, and to what degree, racial privilege begets material advantage across class, time, and place"--

Black Rednecks & White Liberals
BasicBinding: Paperback
Author: Sowell, Thomas
Publisher: Encounter Books
Date Published: 04-2006
ISBN: 1594031436 | EAN: 9781594031434
BasicBinding: Paperback
Features: Bibliography, Index, Table of Contents, Annotated, Price on Product | Pages: 384
Annotation: This book presents the kind of eye-opening insights into the history and culture of race for which Sowell has become famous. As late as the 1940s and 1950s, he argues, poor Southern rednecks were regarded by Northern employers and law enforcement officials as lazy, lawless, and sexually immoral. This pattern was repeated by blacks with whom they shared a subculture in the South. Over the last half century poor whites and most blacks have moved up in class and affluence, but the ghetto remains filled with black rednecks. Their attempt to escape, Sowell shows, is hampered by their white liberal friends who turn dysfunctional black redneck culture into a sacrosanct symbol of racial identity. In addition to Black Rednecks and White Liberals, the book takes on subjects ranging from Are Jews Generic? to The Real History of Slavery.
