Binding: Hardcover
Description: The definitive book on how systemic racism in America really works revealing the vast and often hidden network of interconnected policies practices and beliefs that combine to devastate Black lives In recent years condemnations of racism in America have echoed from the streets to corporate boardrooms. At the same time politicians and commentators fiercely debate racism's very existence. And so our conversations about racial inequalities remain muddled. In Metaracism pioneering scholar Tricia Rose cuts through the noise with a bracing and invaluable new account of what systemic racism actually is how it works and how we can fight back. She reveals how from housing to education to criminal justice an array of policies and practices connect and interact to produce an even more devastating metaracism far worse than the sum of its parts. While these systemic connections can be difficult to see and are often portrayed as color - blind again and again they function to disproportionately contain exploit and punish Black people. By helping us to comprehend systemic racism's inner workings and destructive impacts Metaracism shows us also how to break free and how to create a more just America for us all.
