Racist America: Roots, Current Realities, and Future Reparations - Tapa blanda

"Racist America is a call-to-arms to those committed to fighting for a post-racist America and a brilliant mapping of the architecture needed for an effective anti-racist theory of social change. It is public sociology at its best. It is liberation sociology at its best. It is Joe Feagin at his best."―Ben Carrington, Sociology, University of Texas, Austin

"Racist America traces the significance of racism in the construction and development of the nation since its infancy. In this second edition, Joe R. Feagin has updated his classic book to include developments in the Obamerica era."―Eduardo Bonilla-Silva, Sociology, Duke University

This second edition of Joe Feagin’s Racist America is extensively revised and thoroughly updated, with a special eye toward racism issues cropping up constantly in the Barack Obama era.

This tenth anniversary edition incorporates many dozens of new research studies on U.S. racial issues that significantly extend and update the first edition's major chapters. It accents exciting new and provocative concepts, especially the white racial frame and systemic racism.

The author has also added readable, perceptive discussions of numerous studies in new research areas such as environmental racism, race and health, and antiracist strategies, as well as in all other research areas covered in the first edition. He has thoroughly edited and polished the book to make it much more readable for undergraduates, including eliminating repetitive materials, simplifying endnotes, adding headings and more cross-referencing, and adding a glossary and many new and interesting examples, anecdotes, and narratives about contemporary racism, including at the opening of all chapters.
