false 3047652 2 <DIV>In this highly anticipated follow-up to <I>White Like Me: Reflections on Race from a Privileged Son</I>, activist 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 it. The essays included in this collection span the last ten years of Wise&#8217;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. Wise&#8217;s commentaries make forceful yet accessible arguments that serve to counter both white denial and complacency&#8212;two of the main obstacles to creating a more racially equitable and just society. <I>Speaking Treason Fluently</I> is a superbly crafted collection of Wise&#8217;s best work, which reveals the ongoing salience of race in America today and demonstrates that racial privilege is not only a real and persistent problem, but one that ultimately threatens the health and well-being of the entire society.</DIV> 3078443 1 9 2008 Speaking Treason Fluently: Anti-Racist Reflections From an Angry White Male total:45|5:21|4:17|3:4|2:3|1:0| 45 191 159 12 3047652 1593762070 9781593762070 45 12 4.24 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3047652.Speaking_Treason_Fluently_Anti_Racist_Reflections_From_an_Angry_White_Male 4 2 false Sat Sep 20 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Aug 18 14:49:59 -0700 2008 Sat Sep 20 07:49:43 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3047652 1593762070 9781593762070 45 12 4.24 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3047652.Speaking_Treason_Fluently_Anti_Racist_Reflections_From_an_Angry_White_Male 0 1 false Sun Oct 05 14:31:02 -0700 2008 Sun Oct 05 15:04:17 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3047652 1593762070 9781593762070 45 12 4.24 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3047652.Speaking_Treason_Fluently_Anti_Racist_Reflections_From_an_Angry_White_Male 0 0 false Fri Jul 17 18:12:52 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 18 21:25:26 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3047652 1593762070 9781593762070 45 12 4.24 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3047652.Speaking_Treason_Fluently_Anti_Racist_Reflections_From_an_Angry_White_Male 5 1 false Sat Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Nov 28 09:26:25 -0800 2008 Tue Dec 02 18:43:03 -0800 2008 more...]]> 3047652 1593762070 9781593762070 45 12 4.24 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3047652.Speaking_Treason_Fluently_Anti_Racist_Reflections_From_an_Angry_White_Male 4 0 false Wed Nov 11 05:53:23 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 11 06:01:39 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3047652 1593762070 9781593762070 45 12 4.24 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3047652.Speaking_Treason_Fluently_Anti_Racist_Reflections_From_an_Angry_White_Male 2 0 false Sat Nov 22 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Fri Aug 22 19:36:14 -0700 2008 Sat Nov 22 21:44:19 -0800 2008
