Opis

First published in 1987, "The Logic of Racism" provides a portrait of race relations based on the stories of 800 different individuals from all sections of society. In this book, voices from the author s tape recorder are converted to the page for the reader to experience the vivid, sometimes humorous and frequently disturbing impressions of race relations as they are experienced. Interviewees include people from different age groups, sexes, races, and social backgrounds as well as the politicians, teachers and professionals responsible for fighting racism. The book combines real life experiences with the author s analysis and the result is a text that focuses on the reasoning behind prejudice and its resistance to rational argument.
