In Dear White America Tim Wise directly addresses white people's growing concerns about political, cultural, and community-level shifts displacing their power and privilege. Wise examines the perfect storm of events fueling white anxiety: the election of a black president, economic insecurity at a level unseen by whites as a group in seventy-five years, a popular culture that reflects the nation's growing multicultural reality, and demographic shifts that make it increasingly difficult for whites-who have long been able to see themselves as the prototypical American-to continue to view themselves as the norm. Through stories, anecdotes, and analysis, Wise taps current trends and addresses how to move forward as a unified, diverse, and vibrant democracy. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 650 0 $a Whites $x History. $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Whites $z United States $x History. $x History. 650 0 $a Social status $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Minorities $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Multiculturalism $z United States $x History. 941 $a 6 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214043828.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190103042347.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20181107044833.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20160202073012.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20150819010922.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20120204011346.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0C407FE04EFE11E19AC0F6BE6AFF544E 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
