Struggle for Justice

Anyone interested in the struggle for justice must read this book. A comprehensive and compelling telling and analysis of people's struggle and the key issue of race. Did I mention it is readable? It kept my attention! Humor and fascinating factoids throughout. Unfortunately, the struggles of people with disabilities are not included. But otherwise, this is one of the most enlightening books around!

Great Analysis/Lessons for the Present

Chip Smith offers a wealth of historical and political insight to the subject of race in America. As an urban public school teacher and union activist this book offers an analysis of the past to help us define a path for taking on systemic racism in the 21st century.

This is a great book!!!

This is a well-written, very comprehensive look at racism and white supremacy and their effects on individuals and organizations. I really recommended it! Chapters from this book can be read all by themselves (like the 1st chapter about the origins of the white race), and they can also be used as training materials for activists or educators. There's a great section on patriarchy and really useful sections about personal transformation and building unity for white activists. This has been a very valuable book and great resource for me!

Product Description

The Cost of Privilege takes readers from the creation of the white race over three centuries ago to the present-day myth of a colorblind society; from the intersections of class, gender, and race to the concrete benefits and harsh underside of the privileges white people experience every day; from the victories when people allied across the color line to the failures of some of those alliances to hold; from personal transformations to international struggles
