Editorial Reviews:

Racial privilege shapes the lives of white Americans in every facet of life, from employment and education to housing and criminal justice. Using stories from his own life, Tim Wise shows that racism not only burdens people of color, but also benefits those who are "white like him" — whether or not they’re actively racist. Using stories instead of stale statistics, Wise weaves a compelling narrative that assesses the magnitude of racial privilege and is at once readable and scholarly, analytical yet accessible.

white like me review Jul 25, 2010

When I purchased this product and contacted the seller they were very helpful. I wanted it to get shipped pretty quickly so it could arrive in time for a friend's birthday. The seller was very understanding and helped out! When i emailed them they replied on the same day. I definitely recommend buying from this seller! VERY SATISFIED!

Reflections on Privilege Jun 30, 2010

This book has proved to be an excellent resource for those looking to understand what privilege has meant and continues to mean for our Caucasian-American brothas and sistas. Tim Wise eloquently describes our country's history from multiple angles. This book is indeed a resource for the intellectual, concerned citizen, educator, politician...it's a book for any and everyone.

Don't be turned off by the title; judge the book for it's content and accurate characterization of our great Nation and not by its cover.

Happy reading.

Great anti-racist memoir Nov 24, 2009

I wasn't sure what to expect when I first started reading this, but I soon found the memoir-style to be an effective way to describe White privilege. Wise covers things that, as a White anti-racist activist, I already knew, and things that I have known but not been able to verbalize or explain. He provides background and information, as well as new perspectives, that I didn't know, as well. It's a great read for anyone who wants to know more about White privilege and (anti-)racism, regardless of their experience or knowledge of racism.

Avoid This Racist Tripe Nov 21, 2009

Tim Wise isn't. He's a self-loathing liberal apologist who blames his own kind for everyone else's plight. Guess what? Whites are not racists. The very few who may be are just that - very few -. The other kind are the Wise-types who hate their own kind. If you have to buy this thing, use it for a bon-fire.
