In The White Bonus Mc Millan asks a provocative question about racism in America: When people of color are denied so much what are white people given? And how much is it worth not in amorphous privilege but in dollars and cents? Mc Millan begins with three generations of her family tracking their modest wealth to its roots: American policy that helped whites first. Simultaneously she details the complexities of their advantage exploring her mother's death in a nursing home at 44, on Medicaid; her family's implosion; and a small inheritance from a banker grandfather. In the process Mc Millan puts a cash value to whiteness in her life and assesses its worth. Mc Millan then expands her investigation to four other white subjects of different generations across the U. S. Alternating between these subjects and her family Mc Millan shows how and to what degree racial privilege begets material advantage across class time and place. For readers of Robin Di Angelo's White Fragility and Heather Mc Ghee's The Sum of Us Mc Millan brings groundbreaking insight on the white working class. And for readers of Tara Westover's Educated and Kiese Laymon's Heavy Mc Millan reckons intimately with the connection between the abuse we endure at home and the abuse America allows in public.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: The White Bonus Five Families And The Cash Value Of Racism In America\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Mcmillan Tracie\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Henry Holt \u0026amp; Company Inc\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781250619426\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 464 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 4\/23\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Ethnic Minorities \u0026amp; Multicultural Studies","brand":"Mcmillan Tracie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49614775877937,"sku":"IN-G-9781250619426","price":25.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781250619426.jpg?v=1724615757","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781250619426-the-white-bonus-five-families-and-the-cash-value-of-racism-in-america","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
