A Disloyal White Man: Unlocking the Prison House of Race and Class is a collection of thirty-one essays that ask the question: Can a tall, pale-skinned, middle-class man of European descent move beyond the prejudices baked into him by American history and culture?
The essays chronicle David Groff’s own sometimes painful journey away from unthinking whiteness toward a fuller understanding of and appreciation for the rich human tapestry in America and the wider world. This book will challenge readers to transcend their own racial and class identities and embrace a vision of America where the old prison house of race and class no longer constrains the emergence of what Martin Luther King Jr. called the beloved community.
