About the Author: Kalwant Bhopal is professor of education and social justice at the University of Birmingham.
Bhopal\'s book is rooted in dispassionate analysis, but its message is unmistakable--the structural advantages of whiteness are widespread, and dismantling them will require both honesty about their power and determination to change them.
Neoliberal policies only increase that tendency, as their effects exacerbate long-standing patterns of minority disadvantage.
How, after decades of civil rights activism, do people from black and minority ethnic communities continue to be marginalized? In White Privilege , Kalwant Bhopal draws on social science research and political and economic analysis to show how people from black and minority backgrounds are continually positioned as outsiders in public discourse and interpersonal interaction.
