White Privilege: Social Variables That Affect White Racial Identity

by Karen Nelson

This is a mixed method study exploring aspects of White privilege that may affect White males' White racial identity development (WRID). Literature implies that those with the most privilege in gender, race, socioeconomic status, private vs public education, and urban vs less socially diverse environments; would be the least sophisticated since there would be little opportunity for cognitive dissonance. This book was written for those in the helping professions as an instrument to guide addressing issues around race and racism according to social status as well as an exploration into issues around race and racism.
