"...But what will be the place of white males in a multicultural US? This is the question that independent scholar Pulera explores in his fascinating book...The author examines every conceivable dimension of white male experience, from politics, business, and guns to sports, entertainment, religion, and sexual orientation. He offers a lucid analysis of fears and perceptions that affirmative action, quotas, and preferences might bring gains for racial minorities and women at the expense of individual white men....Pulera challenges readers to envision the place of white men in a shared multicultural society of the future. His text is useful and informative without being overly polemical....Highly recommended." -Choice From the reviews of Visible Differences
