Anti-Racism in Action: Dismantling the Architecture of Racism - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

White Supremacy is not inevitable. Racist social policies create racist societies. Racism is a social construct that people deliberately erect. Much like architectural structures, racism can be both constructed and dismantled. In Anti-Racism in Action, Tim McGettigan explains how the USA's Founding Fathers spoke the language of democracy while instituting White Supremacist social policies. McGettigan also explains how people have destroyed racist social structures by implementing anti-racist policies that are designed counteract specific racist policies and practices. Abraham Lincoln counteracted slavery with the Emancipation Proclamation. Civil Rights activists counteracted Jim Crow segregation with the Civil Rights Act of 1964. And McGettigan argues that 21st century Anti-Racists will be able to counteract White Supremacy by ratifying the International Bill of Human Rights. You heard it here first.
