In his latest book, Wise takes a timely and provocative look at contemporary racism and offers fresh ideas on what can be done to achieve true social justice and economic equality.

Tim Wise offers a highly personal examination of the ways in which racial privilege shapes the lives of most white Americans, overtly racist or not, to the detriment of people of color, themselves, and society.

In this highly anticipated follow-up to White Like Me: Reflections on Race from a Privileged Son, activist and educator Tim Wise examines the way in which institutional racism continues to shape the contours of daily life in the United States, and the ways in which white Americans reap enormous privileges from the system of racial inequality. The short essays included in this collection span the last ten years of Wise's writing and cover all the hottest racial topics of the past decade: affirmative action, Hurricane Katrina, racial tension in the wake of the Duke lacrosse scandal, white school shootings, racial profiling, phony racial unity in the wake of 9/11, and the political rise of Barack Obama.

In this powerful lecture, anti-racist activist and author Tim Wise discusses the pitfalls of "colorblindness" in the Obama era and argues for deeper color-consciousness in both public and private practice.
