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 listenable and yet scholarly, analytical and yet accessible.

White Like Me Reflections on Race from a Privileged Son (Audible Audio Edition) Tim Wise, Novel Audio Books Reviews
The author challenges us white people to get more real, apply some "elbow grease" to the struggle to overcome racism. He gives new perspective to the fight. Fresh ideas.
Ultimately encouraging.
Love this author and love this book. Every Caucasian person should read it, even some light or “white†looking Hispanics.
Great read! Nice to have a different perspective. I've just discovered Tim Wise and have read 2 more books by him. Surprised to find that we live in the same town--Nashville!!!
Wise made me understand (more, anyway) the pervasiveness of white privilege and how I have benefited from it. I skimmed some of the autobiographical material in the middle. - Margy
White like me, the writer of this review, is to have grown deeply sensitive to and concerned about the long historic core of white racism that still runs hot in the political bloodstream of America. Tim Wise is an activist white guy with this same concern and the book is a good tonic for us concerned white folks.
Well written, fascinating memoir from Tim Wise. He speaks thoughtfully and articulately of white privilege, with brutally honest self disclosure of his own journey to understand how far, wide and deep white privilege runs in our country, even among the most liberal and well-intentioned. This book will open your eyes.
I’ve had this book for two year and just decided to read it. As an African American, reconceptualizing the impact of racism and whiteness as an issue for white people was useful for me. It frames systemic oppression as a problem for everyone and not just for people of color. I appreciate they charges/challenges set forth for how readers can approach this work. I will likely read this again.
I found Tim Wise to be accurate in his descriptions of institutional racism and how it affects every aspect of the lives of Black people. I was impress with the honesty shown by Mr. Wise, a white man speaking to white people about what they know to be true but never took notice of. Mr. Wise's point of view was refreshing and hopeful, now if only white people in general and the ones of them who have the authority and power in particular, would do whatever they could to change the racism that invades Black lives at every level from cradle to grave and all stops in between, we would not still be living in a state of simi-aparthied.
