MEDIOCRE The Dangerous Legacy of White Male America

Ijeoma Oluo narrates her insightful writing in a confident and clear tone. Her voice is a welcoming guide as she delves deep into her study of the legacy of white male supremacy in America and the threat it poses to all, including white men themselves. She argues that America's systems have been built to prioritize white and male culture above all else--and that those systems can and must be rebuilt. Oluo explores wide-ranging and disturbing histories, drawing listeners in with appropriate indignation and outrage as needed, and makes connections to illustrate the impact of centering society around preserving white male power. Listeners will be moved, disturbed, and inspired by her words, compelled to listen again, and ready to change the world for the better.
