Joe Feagin is professor of sociology at Texas A&M University. Eileen O'Brien is assistant professor of sociology at the University of Richmond in Virginia.
White Men on Race provides penetrating insights into the range of
racial attitudes of the upper class in the United States. 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
"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
