Privilege by Michael S Kimmel

Privilege by Michael S Kimmel

The essays in this collection explore the multifaceted nature of social location and consider how gender, class, race, sexual orientation, (dis)ability, and religion interact to create nuanced layers of privilege and oppression. The essays guide students to a deep understanding of the dynamics of diversity and stratification, advantage, and power.

Praise for the last edition:

This is a superb collection of work at the vanguard of a resurgent interest in how privilege works across a wide range of human experienceKimmel and Ferber have skillfully knit together a coherent picture of otherwise unexamined and under-theorized connections in a dauntingly vast and fragmented literature. Troy Duster, New York University

This excellent anthology forcefully illustrates how bigotry based on ethnic, racial, gender, and sexual stereotyping confines and blights the lives of those deemed inferior. I’d like to see this book assigned in every college campus in the country. Marti Duberman, City University of New York

Finally a book on how the other half (or less) lives, and how their status, power and way of life is related to the debasing and suffering of others. This volume will start to bring some semblance of balance to the study of inequality and injustice in the United States. Pedro Noguera, Harvard University
