The Price of Privilege - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

“It wasn’t the trucks themselves that did it. The parade of them, in tandem. The gears crunching and groaning. One after another, rolling in jerks and stalls. Chasses straining against the weight of homegrown boys and men – hunched in olive and camouflage, armed and outfitted. It was the feeling they evoked in me.Three boys missing in Philadelphia, Mississippi, twenty-five miles down the road where the trucks were headed. Would today be the day they found them?Cheerleader practice could not hold my full attention. Was anybody else asking the same questions I was: could it have happened here, in Plattsburg? No. Not in this town. Only over there. I wanted all my girlfriends to agree that nobody we knew could possibly have attacked those boys. We were better.”This novel takes Malee from the awakening this scene provoked through a life-long journey leading to the realization that privilege, be it White or male, exacts a price from both Blacks and Whites and from men as well as women.
