White Privilege
White Privilege: Psychoanalytic Perspectives looks at race and the significant role it plays in society and in clinical practice. In this book, Neil Altman looks deeply into this notion, suggesting that there are hidden assumptions in the idea of white privilege that perpetuate the very same racially prejudicial notions that are purportedly being dismantled.The book examines in depth the structure of racial categories, polarized between white and black, that are socially constructed, resting on fallacious ideas of physical or psychological differences among peoples. Much of the effort going into racial consciousness-raising rests on the concept of unearned white privilege.
It is suggested that political positions are also artificially polarized into categories of liberal, left and Altman also critically examines such related concepts as privilege, guilt, and power.
