In Biking Englewood, Benjamin Goluboff takes on the difficult and necessary task of interrogating the white gaze without affirming whiteness as an ethnic and racial identity. This essay should be read by anyone seriously interested in racial disparities American-style, particularly in the age of Trump. -Shaun Rouser, Co-editor, The Blackstone Review
