“Race” and Racism examines the origins and development of racism in North America.  It addresses the inception and persistence of the concept of “race” and discusses the biology of human variance, addressing the fossil record of human evolution, the relationship between creationism and science, population genetics, “race”-based medicine, and other related issues.  The book explores the diverse ways in which people in a variety of cultures have perceived, categorized, and defined one another without reference to any concept of “race.”  It follows the history of American racis

Alastair Bonnett sets racial representation and anti-racism in their wider political context and then focuses on the ambiguities and political characteristics of race equality consciousness among public educators. Bonnett also addresses the contemporary crisis of racial and political representation among anti-racists and radicals. He shows that there is no one anti-racism but that different ideals and assumptions have been arrived at within different historical and geographical contexts--both multi-racial and white. Bonnett suggests that this intellectual plurality provides a resource for thos

Racism, Sexism, Power and Ideology argues that there is nothing obvious’ or natural’ about our ideas of sex and race. The book looks at the evolution of these ideas. Guillaumin contends that the slow crystallization of ideas on human races’ over the last few centuries can be grasped through the study of signs and their systems. However, race and sex are in no way purely abstract or symbolic phenomena. They are the hard facts of society. To be a man or woman, black or white are matters of social reality. To be a member of a particular race or sex does not bring with it the

Racism and Anti-Racism in Probation analyzes how and why the probation service treats blacks differently from whites. David Denney suggests that little systematic attention has been given to the nature of the relationship between probation officers’ perceptions of offending, probation practice, and the complex meanings which underlie probation intervention with black and white offenders. Drawing on ethnographic material as well as on his own past experience as a probation officer, Denney considers the affects of recent changes in penal policy on the development of probation work with bla

This edition includes a chapter examining the Obama mystery the election of a black President even though racial progress has stagnated in the country since the 1980s. Bonilla-Silva argues that this development is not a breakthrough in race relations, but a continuation of racial trends in the last 40 years including the sedimentation of color-blind racism as the dominant ideology in the nation.

In this book, Bonilla-Silva explores with systematic interview data the nature and components of post-civil rights racial ideology. Specifically, he documents the existence of a new suave and apparently non-racial racial ideology he labels color-blind racism. He suggests this ideology, anchored on the decontextualized, ahistorical, and abstract extension of liberalism to racial matters, has become the organizational matrix whites use to explain and account for racial matters in America.
