From the bestselling author of Brown Is the New White, an explosive new argument for draining the swamp of white male privilege

We are witnessing an attack on equal rights in America unparalleled since the collapse of Reconstruction. In the tradition of his New York Times and Washington Post bestseller Brown Is the New White and his "spirited and persuasive" (Publishers Weekly) How We Win the Civil War, Steve Phillips's goal is nothing less than to exhort people to go on the offensive in the fight for racial justice in this country-to flip the script from the underrepresentation of people of color to the overrepresentation of white men.

In twelve short, animated chapters covering the fields of business, arts and entertainment, government, higher education, philanthropy, and democracy itself, Phillips shows how Straight White American Male Preference (or S.W.A.M.P.) has come roaring out of the shadows once again. Far from being a country where white men have suffered under so-called reverse racism, Phillips reveals America to be a place where white men-a minority population-have enjoyed unfair legal advantages, racial quotas, grade inflation, and jumping the line for public benefits.

Are White Men Smarter Than Everybody Else? calls for nothing less than draining the swamp of white male privilege. Fearless, funny, and deeply researched, this much-needed corrective offers equality-loving readers the arguments and energy they need to launch a new counterattack.
