Opis

The continuing reality of racism in the United States is exposed in the revised second edition of White Racism. Taking issue with those who claim the significance of racism is declining, the authors focus on a series of notorious racial incidents, including the Rodney King beating, revealing this dirty little secret of American life as a fundamental social practice embedded in cherished cultural and political institutions.
