Who is White Men from Feminist Theory from Margin to Center and what is their importance?

Hooks suggests that white men are not necessarily the oppressive monsters that early feminism made them out to be. She suggests that while large numbers of white men are notably oppressive on many levels (economic, sexual, political, emotional, physical), there are also huge numbers of white men who are just as oppressed by the system as women. The author believes that the feminist movement can and will benefit these men as much as it will benefit women.
