Ijeoma Oluo

From the author of the New York Times bestseller So You Want to Talk About Race, a history of white male America and a scathing indictment of what it has cost us socially, economically, and politically After the election of Donald Trump, and the escalation of white male rage and increased hostility toward immigrants that came with him, New York Times-bestselling author Ijeoma Oluo found herself in conversation with Americans around the country, pondering one central question: How did we get here? In this ambitious survey of the last century of American history, Oluo answers that question by pinpointing white men's deliberate efforts to subvert women, people of color, and the disenfranchised. Through research, interviews, and the powerful, personal writing for which she is celebrated, Oluo investigates the backstory of America's growth, from immigrant migration to our national ethos around ingenuity, from the shaping of economic policy to the protection of sociopolitical movements that fortify male power. In the end, she shows how white men have long maintained a stranglehold on leadership and sorely undermined the pursuit of happiness for all.

The Dangerous Legacy of White Male America

Mediocre

In this New York Times bestseller, Ijeoma Oluo offers a hard-hitting but user-friendly examination of race in America Widespread reporting on aspects of white supremacy -- from police brutality to the mass incarceration of Black Americans -- has put a media spotlight on racism in our society. Still, it is a difficult subject to talk about. How do you tell your roommate her jokes are racist? Why did your sister-in-law take umbrage when you asked to touch her hair -- and how do you make it right? How do you explain white privilege to your white, privileged friend? In So You Want to Talk About Race, Ijeoma Oluo guides readers of all races through subjects ranging from intersectionality and affirmative action to "model minorities" in an attempt to make the seemingly impossible possible: honest conversations about race and racism, and how they infect almost every aspect of American life. "Oluo gives us -- both white people and people of color -- that language to engage in clear, constructive, and confident dialogue with each other about how to deal with racial prejudices and biases." -- National Book Review "Generous and empathetic, yet usefully blunt . . . it's for anyone who wants to be smarter and more empathetic about matters of race and engage in more productive anti-racist action." -- Salon (Required Reading)

The Badass Feminist Coloring Book

Dieses Buch eröffnet einen radikal neuen Blick auf ein Land, das seinen weißen Bewohnern von Generation zu Generation das Versprechen gab, naturgemäß an der Macht zu sein. Die Geschichte der USA ist eine Geschichte weißer Männer, die sich über andere hinwegsetzten – über Schwarze, Frauen und andere weiße Männer. Von den Cowboys, die sich mit dem Colt in der Hand den Weg in den Westen freischossen, über die Baumwollfarmer, deren Erfolg am Besitz Schwarzer gemessen wurde, bis hin zu den Quarterbacks der NFL und einem Präsidenten, der Frauen zwischen die Beine greift. Eindrucksvoll und anschaulich erzählt Ijeoma Oluo wie das Ideal der weißen Männlichkeit die Gesellschaft bis heute prägt und eine Verständigung so schwierig macht. In Das Land der weißen Männer zeigt die gefeierte Autorin die wahren Konsequenzen der weißen männlichen Vorherrschaft, und entwirft eine neue Identität für weiße Männer, die eine Zukunft ohne Rassismus und Sexismus möglich macht.
