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

<p>Eduardo Bonilla-Silva’s acclaimed <i>Racism without Racists</i> 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. <br>New to this edition: <br><b>New Chapter 2</b>, “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.<b>New Chapter 10, </b>“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.<b>Updated discussion </b>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).<b>Addresses the question, “What is to be done?” </b>and offers White people ideas on what they can do to change themselves (Chapter 11).</p>
