As in many global cities, those who hold Western passports share specific advantages: prestigious careers, high salaries, and comfortable homes and lifestyles. With this book, Am駘ie Le Renard explores how race, gender and class backgrounds shape experiences of privilege, and investigates the processes that lead to the formation of Westerners as a social group.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWesternness is more than a passport; it is also an identity that requires emotional and bodily labor. And as they work, hook up, parent, and hire domestic help, Westerners chase Dubai's promise of socioeconomic elevation for the few. Through an ethnography informed by postcolonial and feminist theory, Le Renard reveals the diverse experiences and trajectories of white and non-white, male and female Westerners to understand the shifting and contingent nature of Westernness--and also its deep connection to whiteness and heteronormativity. \u003ci\u003eWestern Privilege\u003c\/i\u003e offers a singular look at the lived reality of structural racism in cities of the global South.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Am駘ie Le Renard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1503613844\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781503613843\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/21\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.06h x 6.06w x 0.87d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2022","brand":"Am駘ie Le Renard","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44302399570175,"sku":"9781503613843","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cc73a8bd-22dc-4e40-8585-6203dbd7cbf3.jpg?v=1695161341","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/western-privilege-amlie-le-renard-9781503613843","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
