Between Barack And A Hard Place

Racism And White Denial In The Age Of Obama

BY TIM WISE
Race is, and always has been, an explosive issue in the United States. In this timely new book, Tim Wise explores how Barack Obama's Presidency is taking the race debate to new levels. For many white people, Obama's rise signifies the end of racism as a pervasive social force; a validation of the American ideology that anyone can make it if they work hard, and that institutional barriers against people of color have all but vanished. But is this true? No! The evidence is clear: white privilege and discrimination against people of color are still operative and actively thwarting opportunities, despite the success of individuals like Obama.

The Rise Of Post-racial Politics And The Retreat From Racial Equity

BY TIM WISE
In this critically lauded book, Tim Wise argues against "colorblindness" and for a deeper color-consciousness in both public and private practice. We can only begin to move toward authentic social and economic equity through what Wise calls "illuminated individualism"-acknowledging the diverse identities that have shaped our perceptions, and the role that race continues to play in the maintenance of disparities between whites and people of color in the United States today. Colorblind presents a timely and provocative look at contemporary racism and offers fresh ideas on what can be done to achieve true social justice and economic equality.

Anti-racist Reflections From An Angry White Male

BY TIM WISE
In this highly anticipated follow-up to White Like Me: Reflections on Race from a Privileged Son, activist Tim Wise examines the way in which institutional racism continues to shape the contours of daily life in the United States, and the ways in which white Americans reap enormous privileges from it. The essays included in this collection span the last ten years of Wise's writing and cover all the hottest racial topics of the past decade: affirmative action, Hurricane Katrina, racial tension in the wake of the Duke lacrosse scandal, white school shootings, racial profiling, phony racial unity in the wake of 9/11, and the political rise of Barack Obama.

White Like Me

Reflections On Race From A Privileged Son (revised And Updated)

BY TIM WISE
Tim Wise problematizes many white Americans' conception of racism as not a problem or not their problem. Wise enters into this historical discussion through the portal of his own experience, creating a kind of annotated biography in which he explores how every facet of his life has been shaped by his racial privilege.
