Coming up on forum, what happens to a country that tells generation after generation of white

men they deserve power? That's the question best-selling

author Ijooma Aluo poses in her new book, Mediocre, the Dangerous Legacy of White

Male America. Through a wide-ranging cultural history, Aluio finds that white male supremacy has had

devastating consequences on all of us, including white men themselves.

She joins us to talk about forging a different path.

Ijoima Aluio, whom you may know from her bestseller, so you want to talk about race. In Aluos' new book, she dissects the roots and manifestations

of white male identity and power by asking, what happens to all of us when generations of

success is defined by status over women and people of color.

The book is mediocre, the dangerous legacy of white male America.

And Ijo-mo Luo, welcome to Forum.
