University of North Carolina Press White Philanthropy: Carnegie Corporation's an American Dilemma and the Making of a White World Order

Review White Philanthropy is a vivid and thorough account of how a wealthy and powerful philanthropic organisation initiated, and eventually completed, a project to establish how white governance could improve the status of Black people. Morey's work draws close attention to the capacity of elite philanthropy to disseminate and uphold ideologies. More importantly, it carefully explains the tools and mechanisms that make this, and a white world order, viable.--LSE Review of BooksGround-breaking...A major, original contribution to an understanding of the racialised basis of elite US institutions, networked into the American establishment; their huge impact on US life especially in this case on 'race relations' and understanding of racial power structures...While there is no doubt that Morey's study is at heart a work of brilliant historical scholarship, it screams with relevance to current discussions of race and inequality, and White supremacy.--The WireWell-researched... Carnegie, its president Keppel, and Myrdal framed An American Dilemma. Morey's White Philanthropy presents much evidence and an argument that they and the project were, well, white supremacist.--Law & Liberty Product Description null About the Author Maribel Morey is founding executive director of the Miami Institute for the Social Sciences.
