Review:

“White Privilege offers a captivating rebuttal to the logics of post-racialism in public discourse that shore up whiteness as a hegemonic force on both sides of the Atlantic. . . An accessible contemporary primer on whiteness and white privilege that should be read by students and scholars of education, institutional racism, and critical race studies.” (Sociology)

“Those from black and minority ethnic backgrounds are consistently disadvantaged. . . Bhopal connects this inequality to neoliberalism in ways I hadn’t considered before.” (Make Wealth History)
