I would like to express my thanks to Loki Gate Tobin for her commentary about the meaning of white privilege, where she recommends for ADN readers two books on this subject - “White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack” by Peggy McIntosh and “White Fragility” by Robin DiAngelo and Eric Dyson. I am sure any progressive reader would like these books.
I my turn, I would recommend for ADN readers the book “The Age of Entitlement : America Since the Sixties” by Christopher Caldwell, published just this year. I am sure any conservative reader would like this book.
