On Privilege (Little Books on Big Themes) Hardcover - 2010
by Julian Burnside
From the publisher
Part of a series that pairs leading Australian thinkers and cultural figures with important themes in life, this handbook contemplates the meanings of privilege. From the concept of legal privilege to the privilege of being born into wealth, this essay alludes to the author's own childhood as well as to the treatment of asylum seekers in Australia and Cubans in Guantanamo Bay. Questioning the definition of "privilege" and determining who has it, this argument will appeal to those interested in politics, law, social justice, and current events.
