Summary:
"Bolstered by the election of Barack Obama, proponents of colorblindness argue that the obstacles faced by blacks and people of
color
in the United States can no longer be attributed to racism but instead result from economic forces. Thus, they contend, programs meant to uplift working-class and poor people are the best means for overcoming any
racial
inequalities that might still persist. Tim Wise refutes these assertions and advocates that the best way forward is to become more, not less, conscious of race and its impact on equal opportunity. Focusing on disparities in employment, housing, education and healthcare, Wise argues that racism is indeed still an acute problem in the United States today, and that colorblind policies actually worsen the problem of
racial
injustice. Colorblind presents a timely and provocative look at contemporary racism and offers fresh ideas on what can be done to achieve true social justice and economic equality. Tim Wise is an American anti-racism activist and writer. He is the author of White Like Me: Reflections on Race from a Privileged Son. He has given speeches at over 600 college campuses across the U.S. and he trains teachers, corporate employees, non-profit organizations and law enforcement officers in methods for addressing and dismantling racism in their institutions."--Provided by publisher.
