In her groundbreaking book, Mediocre: The Dangerous Legacy of White Male America, Ijeoma Oluo argues that white male supremacy is not just a relic of the past, but a force that continues to shape American society today.

Oluo draws on her own experiences as a black woman in America to illustrate the ways in which white male supremacy manifests itself in our institutions, our culture, and our everyday lives. She shows how white men are often given the benefit of the doubt, while women and people of color are subjected to suspicion and scrutiny. She also examines the ways in which white male supremacy has led to the devaluation of women's work, the silencing of women's voices, and the perpetuation of violence against women.

Mediocre is a powerful and provocative book that challenges us to confront the uncomfortable truth about white male supremacy in America. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the roots of our current social and political problems.
