With a new preface and updated chapters, "White Like Me" is one-part memoir, one-part polemical essay collection. It is a personal examination of the way in which racial privilege shapes the daily lives of white Americans in every realm: employment, education, housing, criminal justice, and elsewhere. Using stories from his own life, Tim Wise demonstrates the ways in which racism not only burdens people of color, but also benefits, in relative terms, those who are "white like him." He discusses how racial privilege can harm whites in the long run and make progressive social change less likely. He explores the ways in which whites can challenge their unjust privileges, and explains in clear and convincing language why it is in the best interest of whites themselves to do so. Using anecdotes instead of stale statistics, Wise weaves a narrative that is at once readable and yet scholarly, analytical and yet accessible.

Wise deconstructs the ?automatic? perquisites of white privilege and recounts the kinds of resistance and denial he has encountered in his mission to raise the consciousness of white America regarding the stacked deck that makes prejudice so thoughtlessly easy and thereby furthering the reign of white supremacist ?logic.? The relationship to U.S. foreign policy is, to me, inescapable; thus it is a significant part of the construction of American exceptionalism that argues, for example, we believe in private rights and religious freedom but you can?t build that religious center on property that you own, or that seems to argue that you can not call it anti-(whoever) just because we kill those people in the name of freedom and decency.
