Description: Everyone has an opinion on racism. The vast majority of people would vehemently deny that they or those close to them are racist yet many of the most common understandings of racism are highly problematic. If you mean no harm then it can t be racist. Yes it can. There are anti - discrimination laws now so racism no longer occurs. Incorrect. Some of my best friends are Black so I can t be racist. Not true. In this sharp open - minded and witty book sociologist Jennifer Patrice Sims succinctly addresses these problematic perceptions of racism as fallacies. Building on existing academic theories and drawing on her own cross - national research two decades of teaching and analyses of contemporary issues she delves into the most common and insidious fallacies about racism. In revealing them to be rooted in what scholars call an epistemology of ignorance she shows how these perceptions justify and uphold white supremacy (inadvertently or otherwise). Accessibly written and full of concrete examples this book will be of great value to anyone who wants to understand the common misunderstandings about racism that frustrate contemporary politics classrooms workplaces and dinner tables.
