Regardless of personal views, it can be difficult to agree on what 'white privilege' even means. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Philosopher Shannon Sullivan cuts through the confusion and cross-talk to challenge what ‘everybody knows’ about white privilege. Using real-life examples, she offers a candid assessment of the advantages and disadvantages of the term, to present a better understanding of how race functions in our societies. She argues that white privilege is about more than race, that not only white people can have white privilege, and that feeling guilty about privilege can have a negative effect on the very people you feel guilty towards. In the end, she offers practical solutions for eliminating white privilege and building a fairer society. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Sullivan's forcefully argued book will inspire you to think again about white privilege and what it entails.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction: What “everybody knows” about white privilege \u003cp\u003e1 “White privilege is only about race”\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 “Only white people have white privilege”\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 “White people should feel guilty”\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 “White people should figure out how to get rid of their white privilege”\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 “White people should figure out how to help people of color”\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Philosophy [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Philosophy\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Philosophy%20%5BHP%5D%22\"\u003eHP\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52441795854616,"sku":"9781509535286","price":31.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781509535286.jpg?v=1785025851","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/white-privilege-hardback-9781509535286","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
