| Description: |
A scalding indictment of how the wealthy influence the national economy, politics, and media to disadvantage those less fortunate. |
| Synopsis: |
* Tim Wise is a force: His relentless schedule of book signings & lectures (Tim is on the road from late August until mid-December and then again mid-January through May), ongoing A-list media appearances on CNN, MSNBC and elsewhere, and his prolific use of social media and blog posts, position him as one of the top social justice commentators in the U.S. today.* Reaching a new audience: By expanding his critique to target the injustices not only of race but also those of class Under the Affluence builds on Tim's already massive base readership in appeal to new readers-those concerned with increasing income disparity and economic injustice-readers who may not have heard Wise before.* Wise's last three books have all been extremely popular: Between Barack and a Hard Place - 21,000 copies sold; Colorblind - 22,000; Dear White America - 16,000* This book differs from similar titles-even while building on theories established in some of them-because of its hybrid approach to race, class and gender, as well as its focus on the role of popular media. |
