Kevin Schultz: Why Everyone Hates White Liberals (Including White Liberals)

Even in a hyperpolarized political landscape, argues that most everyone agrees on one thing: white liberals suck. In his bracing new book , Professor Schultz scrutinizes objections against white liberals from all over the political map: conservatives, leftists, libertarians, and even white liberals themselves. On Thursday, May 15 at 6:00 PM, the author will give a book talk and Q&A at Bookends & Beginnings.

Assessing how decades of attacks on liberals and liberalism have steadily hollowed out the center of American political life, Schultz also explores how we can fuel the rise of a true multiparty system. Why Everyone Hates White Liberals is a must-read for anyone wishing to understand—and envision a way forward in—the complicated landscape of American politics.
