Mediocre: The Dangerous Legacy of White Male America by Ijeoma Oluo

5.0

Thought provoking, well-researched, and captivating. From the Western expansion of the US to the need for working women in WWII to the modern NFL, Oluo builds her case that because elite power structures are dependent on working-class white males, they've worked hard to keep them in their place; and how this in turn feeds racism and sexism.
