Regardless of personal views, it can be difficult to agree on what \u003cem\u003ewhite privilege\u003c\/em\u003e even means.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePhilosopher Shannon Sullivan cuts through the confusion and cross-talk to challenge what 'everybody knows' about white privilege. Using real-life examples, she offers a candid assessment of the advantages and disadvantages of the term, to present a better understanding of how race functions in our societies. She argues that white privilege is about more than race, that not only white people can have white privilege, and that feeling guilty about privilege can have a negative effect on the very people you feel guilty towards. In the end, she offers practical solutions for eliminating white privilege and building a fairer society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSullivan's forcefully argued book will inspire you to think again about white privilege and what it entails.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47000843419884,"sku":"9781509535286","price":83.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/12375113482725.jpg?v=1763309596"},{"product_id":"conspiracy-theories-by-quassim-cassam-9781509535835","title":"Conspiracy Theories","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e9\/11 was an inside job.
