Summary:
"Most people assume that
racism
grows from a perception of human difference: the fact of race gives rise to the practice of
racism
. Sociologist Karen E. Fields and historian Barbara J. Fields argue otherwise: the practice of
racism
produces the illusion of race, through what they call "racecraft." And this phenomenon is intimately entwined with other forms of inequality in American life. So pervasive are the devices of racecraft in American
history
, economic doctrine, politics, and everyday thinking that the presence of racecraft itself goes unnoticed. That the promised post-racial age has not dawned, the authors argue, reflects the failure of Americans to develop a legitimate language for thinking about and discussing inequality."--Publisher's website.
