Editorial Reviews

Review

“Nair argues that the imperial age has left behind a global racial hierarchy that is still very much in place...[and] forms of white privilege continue to be built into the structure of geopolitics, international business, culture, the media, education, fashion and sport.”
—Gideon Rachman, Financial Times

“Very highly recommended as a standout blend of history and a call to action that will require much change on social, economic, and intellectual levels in order to fully address the issues of the privileged status quo that currently drives the world.”
—Diane Donovan, Midwest Book Review

“With this book, Chandran Nair adds a timely, critical analysis of the impacts Western white privilege has had on the world outside the borders of the United States. Weaving together disparate threads, from apartheid South Africa to the global media system to the oligarchs of Wall Street and more, Nair dissects and exposes the system that has long benefited a minority at the expense of the rest. Chandran Nair’s Dismantling Global White Privilege is more than a cri de coeur—it offers the reader a practical path forward.”
—Amy Goodman, host and Executive Producer, Democracy Now!
 
“The racial nature of global power has been overwhelmingly ignored. It has been so taken for granted that white people dominate virtually all areas of global power that it has come to be regarded as the natural order of things: the way the world should be and always will be. But a light is beginning to be shone on the previously invisible. Chandran Nair’s new book is a major contribution to making the invisible visible. It could hardly be more timely and deserves to be widely read. This is one of the great coming issues of our time.”
—Martin Jacques, bestselling author of When China Rules the World: The End of the Western World and the Rise of a New Global Order.”
 
“White privilege is a complex and politically polarizing term that has cropped up more often in recent years as Western society at last begins—belatedly and only in part—to reckon with the toxic legacy of white supremacy. In Dismantling Global White Privilege, Chandran Nair provides a readable and wide-ranging analysis of this term and the way white privilege continues to shape lives around the world. A timely work by an original thinker.”
—Dr. Shashi Tharoor, former Under-Secretary General, United Nations, and bestselling author of Inglorious Empire
 
“This important book makes the case that “White privilege,” “Western privilege,” and “Western superiority” have been used interchangeably to justify the unjustifiable—the bigoted, prejudiced, and often brutal march to dominate world resources by White colonial powers. Written by an astute observer who has lived in both worlds, it analyzes the conscious and unconscious aspects of a system that has pushed the world to the brink of disaster and must be dismantled.”
—John Perkins, New York Times bestselling author of Confessions of an Economic Hit Man

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

About thirty years ago, soon after returning to Asia from a few years volunteering in Africa on development issues, Chandran Nair became very interested in the nature of economic development and the resultant impacts on the environment and natural resources of the world. He was particularly interested in the question of what would happen if the poor countries of the developing world, which account for the majority of the global population, aspired to rich lifestyles.

This led him to a career in environmental consulting, during which he built Asia’s largest environmental consulting group. Fifteen years in consulting offered him an opportunity to work with many from all parts of the world, both in government and the private sector, and gain deep insights into the impacts of a fast-rising Asia. His experience led to an acute appreciation of the untenable tension between growth and what by then had become known as sustainable development.

Because of his belief that the developing world needs fresh ideas and that these should not simply be imported from the rich world, he left consulting to start the Global Institute for Tomorrow, which he labels a pan-Asian think “and do” tank. His views on issues in Asia and the developing world have been featured in the print media ranging from the Financial Times, the Wall Street Journal, and the New York Times to the Huff Post, Guardian, and China Daily. His opinions have been sought by an array of media outlets including the BBC, CNN, NHK, Al Jazeera, Bloomberg, and Channel NewsAsia, among others.

He is a member of the Club of Rome and a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts. He is a keen sportsman and managed the Hong Kong field hockey team to two Asian Games. He plays the saxophone and used to play in a band during his time in Africa.
