(New York Times Book Review) history of white male identity.What happens to a country that tells generation after generation of white men that they deserve power? What happens when success is defined by status over women and people of color, instead of by actual accomplishments?Through the last 150 years of American history -- from the post-reconstruction South and the mythic stories of cowboys in the West, to the present-day controversy over NFL protests and the backlash against the rise of women in politics -- Ijeoma Oluo exposes the devastating consequences of white male supremacy on women, people of color, and white men themselves. Mediocre investigates the real costs of this phenomenon in order to imagine a new white male identity, one free from racism and sexism.As provocative as it is essential, this book will upend everything you thought you knew about American identity and offers a bold new vision of American greatness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eAuthor's Previous Success: From the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller So You Want to Talk About Race | Comprehensive Cultural History: Wide-ranging in the cultural history it provides | Engaging Call to Action: Conversational call to action | Powerful Impact: Searing | Reimagined American Greatness: Redefines the idea of American greatness | Thorough and Personal: This well-researched, yet highly personal, tome | Historical Perspective: This historical look at white male mediocrity in America | Seamless Blend of Past and Present: Deftly weaving past and present | Clear and Relatable: Oluo is clear and approachable | Intelligent and Accessible: Erudite yet accessible | Rooted in Research and Personal Experience: Grounded in careful research as well as Oluo's personal experiences of racism and misogyny | Interdependence of Identities: Oluo makes the case that whiteness and masculinity are powerful yet also dependent on the identities that they oppress | Historical Connections: Oluo draws clear lines from the mythmaking of 'Buffalo Bill' Cody | Exposing and Challenging Mediocrity: Oluo masterfully diagnoses the pervasive plague of white mediocrity.
