I spent fifty years oblivious to my privilege and I would like to do my part to shorten that time interval for other white people on this journey. -- Author, from Chapter 4 This is not a book about a white person just trying to talk insightfully about matters of racism, but one that describes specific actions to bring about significant changes in that racism, both at a personal and an institutional level.... This is a very timely book that is highly appropriate for white Americans to both read and heed. -- Joe R. Feagin, from the Foreword Passionate, personal and engaging, Robert Amico walks through the realities of white privilege in a such a way that readers cannot turn away and try to avoid its realities. Grounded in research but touched with personal stories,　Exploring White Privilege belongs in the hands of white social justice activists searching to understand not only their personal privilege, but also how to use it for action and equity. -- Eddie Moore Jr., Founder andProgram Director of the White Privilege Conference If you are wondering what to do with the newfound understanding that you have white privilege, Bob Amico is your perfect companion. He will answer questions from "Where did it come from?" to "What can I do with it?" with personable sensitivity and without preachiness. His book carries you further in your own journey of exploration than you may have thought possible. -- Peggy McIntosh, author of "White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack"
