Susanna Salk
A PRIVILEGED LIFE. CELEBRATING WASP STYLE

This book could have been very interesting. Unfortunately it is not. Definitively a plus are the sometimes really fabulous photos showing the WASPy ubringing of the author. They are accompanied by photos of the most prominent protagonists of WASP style. The biggest minus are the missing contexts and an informed analysis. Therefore the book is just another booklet promoting a privileged lifestyle, but not asking for the representation at work and the sometimes well-hidden social dimensions and relations.

Check out the book here: A PRIVILEGED LIFE. Celebrating Wasp Style
