Written in accessible, straightforward language, the book discusses and critically analyzes cutting-edge scholarship in the field. Organized into topics and concepts rather than discrete racial groups, the text addresses:
How and when the idea of race was created and developed
How structural racism has worked historically to reproduce inequality
How we have a society rampant with racial inequality, even though most people do not consider themselves to be racist
How race, class, and gender work together to create inequality and identities
How immigration policy in the United States has been racialized
How racial justice could be imagined and realized Centrally focused on racial dynamics
Race and Racisms also incorporates an intersectional perspective, discussing the intersections of racism, patriarchy, and capitalism.
