Based on the revealing and provocative testimony of approximately one hundred powerful, upper-income white men, White Men on Race shows how white men see racial “others,” how they see white America, how they view racial conflicts, and what they expect for the future of the country. Covering a range of topics, from how they first encountered black Americans to views on black families, interracial dating, affirmative action, immigration, crime, and intervening in discriminatory situations, these hundred white men enlighten us on the racial perspectives of the country’s white male elites as we enter the twenty-first century.
“Pulitzer prize nominee Joe Feagin’s tremendous body of work consistently has placed race, class, and gender at the center of analysis. Feagin has been a leading social scientist in this area and a scholar relentless in his focus on power, privilege, and issues of discrimination. White Men on Race adds to his voluminous oeuvre by providing penetrating insights into the range of racial attitudes of the upper class in the U.S. Here Feagin and O’Brien’s compelling analysis of rare data is quite provocative and illuminating.” —Dr. Bernice McNair Barnett, associate professor, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

Review
"Race in America has always been a black-white affair, with the scrutiny largely on the former. Feagin and O'Brien's book seeks to remedy this imbalance by placing 100 elite white males in the interrogation chair, prodding them about life in the 'white bubble, ' their views on affirmative action, and their interactions with people of color (which range from limited to none)." --David Ng, "Village Voice"
"A sobering perspective on racial bias." --"Psychology Today"
"Full of sharp and nuanced insights, this book offers a revealing glimpse into the heart of whiteness." --"Publishers Weekly"
"Sociologists Feagin and O'Brien provide a fascinating, complex, and brutally honest look at how a segment of society has the ability to affect, both positively and negatively, policy and treatment of people." --K. M. Jamieson, "Choice"
