Above and beyond personal prejudice, whiteness is a structured advantage that produces unfair gains and unearned rewards for whites while imposing impediments to asset accumulation, employment, housing, and health care for minorities. Reaching beyond the black/white binary, Lipsitz shows how whiteness works in respect to Asian Americans, Latinos, and Native Americans. Lipsitz delineates the weaknesses embedded in civil rights law 606 $aRacism$zUnited States 606 $aPrejudices$zUnited States 606 $aWhites$xRace identity$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xRace relations 607 $aUnited States$xSocial policy$y1993- 615 0$aRacism 615 0$aPrejudices 615 0$aWhites$xRace identity 676 $a305.800973 700 $aLipsitz$b George$0698437 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910814214603321 996 $aThe possessive investment in whiteness$93953649 997 $aUNINA
