Film: Tim Wise: On White Privilege

In this spellbinding lecture, Tim Wise, the author of White Like Me: Reflections on Race from a Privileged Son offers a unique, inside-out view of race and racism in America. Expertly overcoming the defensiveness that often surrounds these issues, Wise provides a non-confrontational explanation of white privilege and the damage it does not only to people of color, but to white people as well. The film is an ideal introduction to the social construction of racial identities, and a critical new tool for exploring the often invoked — but seldom explained — concept of white privilege.
