More about the book
The narrative explores the awakening to class and racial identity experienced by the author upon entering university. Initially unaware of their working-class background and the implications of being white, the author reflects on how literature, particularly David Roediger's work, illuminated the constructed nature of whiteness. This revelation leads to a critical understanding of privilege and systemic oppression, highlighting the author's internal conflict with benefiting from a societal structure that marginalizes people of color. The text delves into the complexities of identity, privilege, and accountability.
