![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Through the last 150 years of American history - from the post-reconstruction South and the mythic stories of cowboys in the West, 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 color, and white men themselves.

What happens when success is defined by status over women and people of color, instead of by actual accomplishments? From the author of the New York Times bestseller So You Want to Talk About Race, a subversive history of white male American identity. ![]()
