TitleSearching for Whitopia
AuthorRich Benjamin
LocationOther
RatingHighly Recommended
Book ReviewA fascinating mix of firsthand observation and detailed research on parts of the US that are well-liked by many, predominantly white new residents.  Black critic of society and culture, Benjamin, describes "racism without racists" in St. George, Utah, Couer d'Alene, Idaho, Forsythe County, Georgia, and elsewhere.  Prescient on Trump's appeal.
