Description: "The twentieth anniversary edition of this book about how white people profit from identity politics includes new chapters and extended discussions of political whiteness, vigilante violence, police misconduct and white flight, white fright, white fragility and white fear"--

Review Quotes: "Lipsitz's 20th-anniversary reissue has only shown how prescient and important this book was from first press.... Weaving together literary references, scientific studies, and court cases, and using well-known contemporary events like Hurricane Katrina, police killings of young African-American men, the Charleston massacre, and many historical events that may be lesser known, he illustrates how white fear and failure are the sources for the development of ethnonationalism. Summing Up: Highly recommended."--Choice
