Official Review: It's a White Life by Jim Trebbien

[Qulee]

Discrimination is still the most neglected matter countrywide
It started from our ancestors upto today and we all acknowledge the facts but we tender to forget we are all human.

This is a brilliant way to explore white privilege. I'd like to check out the book at some point. Your review makes me think about the complex realm of sociological issues that I imagine would be evoked by this book.

I'm curious as to why you feel that the men are religious that it makes the story more credible. Religion has nothing to do with whether or not one is a credible person, so I'm wondering your angle on your thoughts.

Race is always a difficult subject to discuss, because unfortunately, some people still experience discrimination. Yet I think that as a non fiction book, this story can help bring those issues out in the open through real interactions. It seems as if the author did a good job of describing how people of different races are treated differently, without stereotyping anyone.

You are right that it's hard to talk about. More than anything, the author listened as much of what we learn about Cameron's experiences are in his own words.

That’s really great we get a glimpse of Cameron’s perspective in his words.

I think we need more books about people who’ve been able to- maybe unexpectedly- challenge their own experiences and viewpoints, and come closer to walking in another’s shoes.

P.S. What did you think of the title of the book?

This book covers many social aspects ranging from false accusations to the discrimination and how people deal with it! A lot of people still don't understand that people struggle from discrimination - racism or otherwise, and this book brings that into light and gives an insight on it! Thank you for the review!
