Racism without Racists: Color-Blind Racism and the Persistence of Racial Inequality in America Capa dura - 2021

Eduardo Bonilla-Silva's acclaimed Racism without Racists examines in detail how Whites talk, think, and account for the existence of racial inequality and makes clear that color-blind racism is as insidious now as ever. The sixth edition of this provocative book includes new material on systemic racism and how color-blind racism framed many issues during the COVID-19 pandemic. A revised conclusion addresses what readers can do to confront racism-both personally and on a larger structural level. New to this edition: -New Chapter 2, "What is Systemic Racism? Coming to Terms with How Racism Shapes 'All' Whites (and Non-Whites)" explains how all members of society participate in structural racism. -New Chapter 10, "Color-Blind Racism in Pandemic Times" provides coverage of racial disparities in mortality, the role of essential workers, and hunger during the pandemic - particularly how public discourse did not reflect how these problems are worse for communities of color. -Updated discussion of police surveillance and violence reflects the current salience of police brutality in the U.S. and enhances the conversation on suave racial discrimination (Chapter 3). -Addresses the question, "What is to be done?" and offers White people ideas on what they can do to change themselves (Chapter 11).
