“Thoroughly engaging and eye-opening.” — Booklist (starred review)

Benjamin “writes in rapturous prose.” — The Wilson Quarterly

“A daring feat of 21st Century exploration that will have you laughing and shuddering at the same time.” — Barbara Ehrenreich

“An essential tool in questioning, appreciating, and better understanding these most historic times. As we move forward in a brand-new America, Searching for Whitopia gives us clues as to how our population might resettle and regroup, on our way to becoming a more (or less) perfect union.”

— Edwidge Danticat, author of Brother, I’m Dying 

“A journey through the whitest communities of America that is bound to be thought-provoking, especially when the voyager is as observant and articulate as Rich Benjamin. A very entertaining read with a message worth pondering.”

— Robert D. Putnam, author, Bowling Alone, and the Peter and Isabel Malkin Professor of Public Policy, Harvard University

“A major publication to be widely read and discussed. Benjamin’s on-the-ground reporting will have a decisive impact on public awareness. Its influence is likely to be enduring, especially since the trend he is describing is far from mature.”

— Andrew Ross, Professor, New York University, author The Celebration Chronicles
