Description: Racism without Racists by Eduardo Bonilla-Silva Racism Without Racists examines in detail how Whites talk, think, and account for the existence of racial inequality, and argues that color-blind racism has emerged as the fountain of frames, stylistic components, and racial stories Whites rely on to articulate their views on racial affairs. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Racism Without Racists examines in detail how Whites talk, think, and account for the existence of racial inequality. The main argument of the book is that color-blind racism, a new racial ideology that emerged in the post-Civil Rights era, has emerged as the fountain of frames, stylistic components, and racial stories Whites rely on to articulate their views on racial affairs. Relying on systematically-gathered interview data, Bonilla-Silva not only de constructs the main elements of this ideology, but also explains how the ways most Whites live their lives (the "white habitus") is central to the reproduction of this ideology, why a specific segment of the White community is more racially progressive, and accounts for how Blacks are effected by the ideology. In this edition, the author has added a very didactic chapter discussing what makes "systemic racism" systemic and another examining how color-blind racism framed many issues during the pandemic. Author Biography Eduardo Bonilla-Silva is the James B. Duke Professor of sociology at Duke University. He gained visibility in the social sciences with his 1997 American Sociological Review article, "Rethinking Racism: Toward a Structural Interpretation," where he challenged analysts to study racial matters structurally rather than from the sterile prejudice perspective. His book, Racism Without Racists, has become a classic in the field and influenced scholars in education, religious studies, political science, rhetoric, psychology, political science, legal studies, and sociology. He is also the author of four other books: White Supremacy and Racism in the Post-Civil Rights Era (co-winner of the 2002 Oliver Cox Award given by the American Sociological Association); White Out: The Continuing Significance of Racism (with Ashley Doane); in 2008 White Logic, White Methods: Racism and Methodology (with Tukufu Zuberi and also the co-winner of the 2009 Oliver Cox Award); and in 2011 State of White Supremacy: Racism, Governance, and the United States (with Moon Kie Jung and João H. Costa Vargas). Bonilla-Silva received the Lewis Coser Award in 2007, given by the Theory Section of the American Sociological Association for Theoretical-Agenda Setting and, in 2011, the Cox-Johnson-Frazier Award given by the American Sociological Association "to an individual or individuals for their work in the intellectual traditions of the work of these three African American scholars." He served as President of the Southern Sociological Society and the American Sociological Association in 2017-2018.

Talking with YOU about How to Fight Color Blind Racism in America Review Eduardo Bonilla-Silva is one of the most influential, insightful, and engaging scholars writing on race. His pathbreaking book, now in its sixth edition, continues to be the gold standard for understanding the dynamics of racism and developing a blueprint for what Whites and people of color must do to dismantle white supremacy and create a more humane, inclusive, and democratic world.Originally published in 2003, Racism without Racists, by Eduardo Bonilla-Silva, lives on into this sixth edition because it is still needed today. Despite landmark legislation and Supreme Court rulings, racism and race-based discrimination continue to permeate every facet of American society. The heightened visibility of this continued racism takes on new meaning when high-profile figures and politicians feed into it, such as when then-presidential candidate Donald Trump descended the escalator in Trump Tower to announce that Mexicans were a "problem" that the United States had to contain. For this reviewer, Trumps declaration marked the beginning of a new phase of so-called color-blind racism, more pernicious than that of any other presidential campaign or administration in American history, including those of Richard Nixon [6] and Ronald Regan.[7] Ultimately, however, it is notable that racist America came alive during Barack Obamas two terms as president. According to writer Ta-Nehisi Coates, the foundation of Donald Trumps presidency is the negation of Barack Obamas legacy. Although it is still unclear how far the white supremacist reaction to Barack Obamas presidency will go, it is evident that despite the election of the first Black president, the United States still has a race problem. Bonilla-Silvas analysis in this new edition is spot on in addressing the issue. He even includes a newly updated chapter on the very timely topic of color-blind racism and the COVID-19 pandemic, in which he provides evidence to demonstrate that Black Americans and other communities of color were disproportionately impacted by the disease because they occupied predominantly low-wage jobs on the front lines and not because of medical pre-conditions. To be sure, the United States is most certainly not a so-called post-racial society, and because of this, Bonilla-Silvas expertise is still needed to explain the new forms of racism that emerge and to reveal how they operate. This sixth edition of Racism without Racists is a powerful update, nothing short of the excellence readers have come to expect from Bonilla-Silva and the work he produces. Highly recommended. Advanced undergraduates through faculty.Professor Bonilla-Silvas Racism without Racists is a seminal text in the study of race and racism.

Students often use this book to start hard conversations with family - the updates here on systemic racism, COVID-19 and racism, and "what can be done?" will allow for an even deeper discussion to unfold. If the authors intent was to meaningfully share a bit of his anger, love, and ways of knowing these important issues, he did it and elevated this classic text by laying richer ground for students of color and White students to make sense of the powerful narratives and analysis the text is valued for.
