Privilege is about more than being white, wealthy, and male�as Michael Kimmel, Abby Ferber, and a wide range
of contributors make clear in this innovative and timely anthology. In an era when �diversity� is too often shorthand
for �of color� and/or �female,� the personal and analytical 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 individual essays are powerfully thought-provoking; taken
together, they help guide students to a deep understanding of the dynamics of diversity and stratification, advantage
and power.
The 3rd edition features 10 new or newly-recast essays which will help students understand the intersectional nature
of privilege and oppression. Enhanced pedagogy (including new discussion questions and �personal connections� activities
at the conclusion of each section) encourages students to examine their own assumptions, beliefs, values, practices,
and social locations�without becoming overwhelmed.
