Publisher Description: Did you know that in New York City 88% of police stops in 2019 involved Black and Latinx people, while only 10% involved white people? Or that in one US survey, 15.8% of students reported experiencing race-based bullying or harassment? What is there left for us to do to disrupt racism? From the multiple book awards-winning author of "Black Injustices" Robin Pace comes a "revolutionary" approach to understanding and eradicating racism and inequality in our society-and in ourselves. Some Americans insist that we're living in a post-racial society. But racist thought is not just alive and well in America-it is more sophisticated and more insidious than ever. And as the author Robin Pace argues, racist ideas have a long history, one in which nearly every great American thinker is complicit. In this deeply researched and fast-moving book, Pace chronicles the highlights of the story of anti-black racist ideas and their astounding power over the course of American history. Here is a preview of what you will discover in this best-seller:
and much, much more. NO MORE HALF TRUTHS. NO MORE BIAS. NO MORE RACISM. "In Understanding Racism in America, Robin Pace offers us the tools we need to expose racist thinking. In the process, he also gives us reason to hope." - Kendra Charles, The Everyday Ledger |
