Required for my "Diverse Perspectives in Education" class. Very accurately points out the problems with White Privilege and does create debates in classrooms. Very repetitive, the same ideas are brought up constantly through the 9 chapters and there doesn't seem to be any resolve. Lot's of finger pointing but very thought provoking as well.

"He is always examining concepts and feelings from multiple angles-fully embracing the complexity of lived experience and the ways that the dead and the living are interconnected."

淺顯易懂,文字流暢,對於主要的社會學概念皆有闡發。這本書我從頭讀了兩遍,每次讀完都有令人振奮的感覺。正如譯者所言,此書為社會學的開胃書。適合所有有志學習社會學者閱讀。

the macintosh list is in here, and a discussion about WHY these systems of power are important to discuss.

the intro is good for classrooms - just because the writer addresses the reasons people are uncomfortable discussing race and power in the same room.
