The Cost Of Privilege
Taking On The Systems Of White Supremacy And Racism
BY CHIP SMITH
Brief Description:
White supremacy is more than mere prejudice. The Cost of Privilege tears through the matrix of "race relations" to expose a power structure that has shaped all economic, political and cultural life in the United States, since colonial settler days. On one side of the color line are systematic oppression, super-exploitation and demonization of people of color. On the other, a systematic awarding of privileges, large and small, to everyday working people who cling desperately to "whiteness" and often don't even recognize the role their lives play in a much bigger scheme. "This is the most comprehensive and clear analysis of racism and national oppression that I've seen." - Kozomi
