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

4.0

Though clearly formatted as a college textbook, this book is well worth a read for anyone who seeks to understand the pervasiveness of racism in a country that professes to be in a post-racial era. Drawing on two new dedicated qualitative interview studies and several previous data sets, Bonilla-Silva confronts White America's discriminations both active and subconsciously-learned and presents the necessarily radical paths forward that we must take if we are to avoid a baked-in racial hierarchy that we can no longer fight.
