PRAISE FOR TIM WISE

“Tim Wise is one of the most brilliant, articulate and courageous critics of white privilege in the nation. His considerable rhetorical skills, his fluid literary gifts and his relentless search for the truth make him a critical ally in the fight against racism and a true soldier in the war for social justice. His writing and thinking constitute a bulwark of common sense, and uncommon wisdom, on the subject of race, politics and culture. He is a national treasure.”

—Michael Eric Dyson, University Professor, Georgetown University, and best-selling author of more than a dozen books on race.

“Tim Wise is one of those rare ‘public intellectuals’ that numerous authors have suggested are becoming extinct in this society. He is evidence that this is not the case … in my judgment, he is the very best of the white anti-racism writers and commentators working in the U.S. media today. …”

—Joe Feagin, Graduate Research Professor of Sociology, Texas A&M, and author of more than twenty books on race issues.

“(Wise’s) work is revolutionary, and those who react negatively are simply afraid of hearing the truth. …”

—Robin D.G. Kelley, Professor of History, University of Southern California, author of Race Rebels, and Yo’ Mama’s Disfunktional!

“One of the brilliant voices of our time.”

—Molefi Kete Asante, Professor of African American Studies, Temple University, creator of the first doctoral program in African American Studies in the United States.

“Wise is the nation’s leading antiracist author/activist. …”

—David Naguib Pellow, professor of Ethnic Studies, University of Minnesota.

“(His) is the clearest thinking on race I’ve seen in a long while written by a white writer … right up there with the likes of historians Howard Zinn and Herb Aptheker as far as I’m concerned.”

—Dr. Joyce King, Associate Provost, Medgar Evers College, Brooklyn, NY.
