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

Racism without Racists: Color-Blind Racism and the Persistence of Racial Inequality in America by Bonilla-Silva, Eduardo. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781442276239.

Eduardo Bonilla-Silva’s acclaimed Racism without Racists documents how, beneath our contemporary conversation about race, there lies a full-blown arsenal of arguments, phrases, and stories that whites use to account for―and ultimately justify―racial inequalities. The fifth edition of this provocative book makes clear that color blind racism is as insidious now as ever. It features new material on our current racial climate, including the Black Lives Matter movement; a significantly revised chapter that examines the Obama presidency, the 2016 election, and Trump’s presidency; and a new chapter addressing what readers can do to confront racism―both personally and on a larger structural level.
