Opis: Mediocre - Ijeoma Oluo
From the TIME 100 author of the Sunday Times and number 1 New York Times
bestseller So You Want to Talk About Race, a subversive history of white
male American identity -- now with a new preface.
'One of the most admired writers and "internet yellers" around…
[Mediocre is] ever more vital… Oluo's meeting the time -- this
movement against white supremacy and systems of oppression. But the
question she keeps asking in her work: Are we?' IBRAM X KENDI
'Mediocre paints an urgent, honest picture of how white male identity
has spawned unrest in the country's political ideology… It's a
necessary read for the world we live in' CHIDOZIE OBASI, Harper's Bazaar
'[Ijeoma's] books don't come from a place of hate, but of determination
to make change… [Mediocre is] another amazing book' TREVOR NOAH on The
Daily Show
What happens to a country that tells generation after generation of
white men that they deserve power? What happens when success is defined
by status over women and people of colour, instead of actual
accomplishments?
Through the last 150 years of American history -- from the
post-Reconstruction South and the mythic stories of cowboys, to the
present-day controversy over NFL protests and the backlash against the
rise of women in politics -- Ijeoma Oluo exposes the devastating
consequences of white male supremacy on women, people of colour, and
white men themselves.
As provocative as it is essential, Mediocre investigates the real costs
of white male power in order to imagine a new white male identity, one
free from racism and sexism.
'[An] analytical and compassionate book' New Statesman
'Deftly combines history and sociological study with personal narrative,
and the result is both uncomfortable and illuminating' Washington Post
'Ijeoma's sharp yet accessible writing about the American racial
landscape made her 2018 book So You Want to Talk About Race an
invaluable resource . . . Mediocre builds on this exemplary work, homing
in on the role of white patriarchy in creating and upholding a system
built to disenfranchise anyone who isn't a white male' TIME
