Summary

In White Privilege, Kalwant Bhopal delves into the persistent marginalisation of black and minority ethnic communities, examining how neoliberal policies have exacerbated discrimination against non-white backgrounds. The book explores the nuances of whiteness, highlighting that not all whiteness is equally privileged, as demonstrated by the continued disadvantage faced by groups like Gypsies and Travellers. Through discussions on education, the labour market, class, and poverty, supported by empirical data and theory, Bhopal scrutinises the role of race in wider societal inequalities.
