Shannon's guest today is Dr. Elijah Anderson, the Sterling Professor of Sociology and African American Studies at Yale University and the 2021 winner of the Stockholm Prize in Criminology. They discuss Dr. Anderson's latest book, Black in White Space: The Enduring Impact of Color in Everyday Life. If you have wondered what it is like for Black people to navigate spaces typically inhabited by White people, this conversation is for you! Cultural Controversy with Shannon Fisher delves deeply into the personal, political, and societal perspectives of the human experience. The show explores the worlds of writers, artists, celebrities, community leaders, and everyday Joes and Janes and offers listeners food for thought on topics we're often told to avoid in polite conversation.
