This is the intro to white privilege that every white kid, parent, teacher, librarian, aunt, uncle, friend, and human* has been missing in their lives. Engaging and conversational, refreshingly honest and personal, verified white guy Brendan Kiely gives us a great starting point for understanding how white privilege saturates our society, for examining how it affects our individual lives and those around us, and for starting a conversation about it with our kids and each other. Plus: intro by Jason Reynolds! plenty of dumb teen shenanigans! excellent on audio!

*I've said it before and I'll say it again — there is no shame, NONE, in adults learning from YA books. They're specifically written in an engaging style that reduces cognitive load so important ideas can shine through. Perfect for busy modern readers ages 12 to 100. Adults who are curious about this whole "white privilege thing" will find this book to be accessible and helpful.
