A review by crschu
Racism without Racists: Color-Blind Racism and the Persistence of Racial Inequality in the United States by Eduardo Bonilla-Silva

informative reflective slow-paced

4.0

this book is extremely informative — Bonilla-Silva does a great job explaining and exploring color-blind racism. this book shows how people use color-blindness to avoid acknowledging race based discrimination and all the while support and uphold the very systems that perpetuate racism.

in the last chapter, Bonilla-Silva offers his white readers steps to becoming anti-racist, and ends the book with a call to action. i recommend this book to anyone interested in understanding the nuanced dynamics and sinister ways color-blindness maintains (and furthers) the racist status quo in the US.
