Product Description
Lewis Gordon presents the first detailed existential phenomenological investigation of anti-black racism as a form of Sartrean bad faith. Bad faith, the attitude in which human beings attempt to evade freedom and responsibility, is treated as a constant possibility of human existence. Anti-black racism, the attitude and practice that involve the construction of black people as fundamentally inferior and subhuman, is examined as an effort to evade the responsibilities of a human and humane world. Gordon argues that the concept of bad faith militates against any human science that is built upon a theory of human nature and as such offers an analysis of anti-black racism that stands as a challenge to our ordinary assumptions of what it means to be human. ...

Blame White People, they are the only problem
Simply put, the worlds problems are white people and white people have all the privileges. Another liberal progressive christian viewpoint. After reading this book, I actually threw it in the trash. Also, white people should be ashamed of all the accomplishments we have made, for example the computer you are using at the moment and the internet and so on. The book actually wants white people to see themselves as a loathing problem and actually the world would be better off without them. Wow, sounds a lot like Black Liberation theology.

Get into the ovens, white folks!
This book is itself racist trash. White people are evil; that's the message. If such a book were written about Jews or blacks, you would never hear the end of it.

Good introduction to White Privilege, but not very detailed/in depth
This book is a brief wake up call to whites, asking them to confront their own privilege. It's honest and to the point, but does not provide too much analysis (it's less than 100 short pages, I finished it in a couple hours). My lower rating is due to the lack of analysis, not the quality of ideas, with which I mostly agree.

Confronting the Truth
A very thoughtful, insightful, honest, and disturbing book about the heart of racism; the oppression and injustice of white privilege and the need for whites to understand these things and the nature of "whiteness" - a socially constructed lie that has been deeply destructive. Jensen addresses the destructive results of this lie in perpetuating 3 genocides by the US on Native Americans, African Americans, and the poor of the "3rd World." He also gives us some tools for bringing about learning, understanding, and transformation.

Nice to Hear Voices from the Grassroots.
Robert Bullard, whose work on environmental justice has really made "local" struggles for a cleaner environment much more visible in academic literature, along with Benjamin Chavis, Jr., a Church activist working to organize and support local struggles against environmental racism, have put together a very readable collection.Chavis and Bullard, open up a forum for other grassroots activists to participate in ongoing academic discussions of the environment and the detrimental effects of waste industries and environmental pollutants on minority and poor populations.CONFRONTING ENVIRONMENTAL RACISM is a nice collection of essays that incorporates the important voices of the individuals who are in the frontlines of change.The one thing I would have liked to see more of is accounts from a broader geographic region.However, if the edition is explicitly about the US (although it never says it is), it is indeed an insightful edition for all who are interested in environmental justice and grassroots social movements.

I'm glad there's a book out there on this topic!
Too often it's assumed that all environmentalists are white, class-privileged neo-hippies and that people of color are too busy with "real" issues.This book shows that activists of color are extremely dedicated to fighting pollutants in their community.This book stresses that a disproportionate number of communities of color have been targeted for toxic wastes sites, etc.; so it is not environmental classism, but specifically environmental racism.This book does a good job in showing how Blacks, Native Americans, and Latinos are equally engaged in fighting this tragedy.This book may be too simplistic for longtime activists.For non-scientists like myself, many of the chemical compounds mentioned and stuff like that went right over my head (figuratively, of course).Still, this helped me learn more on the topic and is a good starter book.I think this book can help bring progressives across color lines together. ...

A frank and honest discussion on the link between sex and race
Although this book was written in 1965, much of it is still valid in 2005. With the exception of legalized interracial marriage, much of what the book says still holds. The recent events of Terrell Owens and Nicollete Sheridan with the towel and Janet Jackson, Justin Timberlake and the bare breast shows that race and sex is still an explosive topic in America. Although interracial couples are more visible, Most Whites and Blacksstill oppose such unions. However, they tolerate them more than they did in 1965.

This book is very prophetic in that it prdeicted afuture crisis in Black Female and Male relationships. Today, 2 out of 3 marriages in the African-American end in divorce as compared to 1965, when it was 1 out 3. 70% of Black children are born out of wedlock as compared to 20% in 1965. The shortage of Black men for educated Black women has lead many to date and marry White men, but this is not a cure for the race problem in America. Most interracial relationships are brief in duration.

I recommend this book to anyone who wants a better understanding about race relations in America.

insightful but outdated
Hernton goes through the sex and power dynamics of blacks and whites in the US, male and female. He spends a chapter discussing each of the four. He argues that all parties are in some ways victims of racial stratification, to different degrees.
My main criticism of this book is that it is outdated. It gives the reader an idea of how things were in the 1960s and previous decades. But it is not nearly as relevant today as some more recently-published works are.

One ofthe best books written about Race-Relations in America

Product Description

Education policy is not designed to eliminate race inequality but to sustain it at manageable levels. This is the inescapable conclusion of the first major study of the English education system using ‘critical race theory’.

David Gillborn has been described as Britain’s ‘most influential race theorist in education’. In this book he dissects the role of racism across the education system; from national policies to school-level decisions about discipline and academic selection.

Race inequality is not accidental and things are not getting better. Despite occasional ‘good news’ stories about fluctuations in statistics, the reality is that race inequality is so deeply entrenched that it is effectively ‘locked in’ as a permanent feature of the system.

Built on a foundation of compelling evidence, from national statistics to studies of classroom life, this book shows how race inequality is shaped and legitimized across the system. The study explores a series of key issues including:

• the impact of the ‘War on Terror’ and how policy privileges the interests of white people
• how assessment systems produce race inequality
• exposes the ‘gifted and talented’ programme as a form of eugenic thinking based on discredited and racist myths about intelligence and ability
• documents the Stephen Lawrence case revealing how policy makers have betrayed earlier commitments to race equality
• shows how ‘model minorities’ are created and used to counter anti-racism
• how education policy is implicated in the defence of white power.

Conspiracy? Racism & Education takes critical antiracist analyses to a new level and represents a fundamental challenge to current assumptions in the field. With a preface by Richard Delgado, one of the founders of critical race theory.

Product Description
Since the eighteenth century when natural historians created the idea of distinct racial categories, scientific findings on race have been a double-edged sword. For some antiracists, science holds the promise of one day providing indisputable evidence to help eradicate racism. On the other hand, science has been enlisted to promote racist beliefs ranging from a justification of slavery in the eighteenth century to the infamous twentieth-century book, The Bell Curve, whose authors argued that racial differences in intelligence resulted in lower test scores for African Americans.

This well-organized, readable textbook takes the reader through a chronological account of how and why racial categories were created and how the study of "race" evolved in multiple academic disciplines, including genetics, psychology, sociology, and anthropology. In a bibliographic essay at the conclusion of each of the book’s seven sections, the authors recommend primary texts that will further the reader’s understanding of each topic. Heavily illustrated and enlivened with sidebar biographies, this text is ideal for classroom use. ... Read more

How an intellectual elite robbed man of his dignity
The authors have done a wonderful job of organizing an intellectual history with succinct narratives and career profiles of scholars and movements that won the Western world, in approximately two centuries, to a naturalistic view of humanity. Now liberated from superstitions that all men are created in the image of God (my inference, not the authors'), the elite now led nations into new pathways of eugenics, social Darwinism, master-race concepts, and unjust social policies chronicled by the authors. It is very useful to see the links and review the history compactly presented in this book. ... Read more

Armstrong, Brock University;Ira Bogotch, Florida Atlantic University; Sandra Harris, Lamar University; Whitney H. Sherman, VirginiaCommonwealth University; George Theoharis, Syracuse UniversityThe Emperor Has No Clothes: Teaching About Race and Racism to People Who Don't Want toKnow offers theoretical grounding and practical approaches for leaders and teachers interested in effectivelyaddressing racism and other oppressive constructs. The book draws both on the author's extensive experienceteaching about race and racism in classroom and community settings and from the theory and practiceof a wide range of educators, activists, and researchers committed to social justice.The first chapter looks at the toxic consequences of our western cultural insistence on profit,binary thinking, and individualism to establish the theoretical framework for teaching about race and racism. Chapter two investigates privileged resistance,offering a psycho/social history of denial, particularly as a product of racist culture. Chapter three reviews the research on the construction andreconstruction of dominant culture both historically and now in order to establish sound strategic approaches that educators, teachers, facilitators, andactivists can take as we work together to move from a culture of profit and fear to one of shared hope and love. Chapter four lays out the stages of aprocess that supports teaching about racist, white supremacy culture, explaining how students can be taken through an iterative process of relationshipbuilding,analysis, planning, action, and reflection. The final chapter borrows from the brilliant, brave, and incisive writer Dorothy Allison to discussthe things the author knows for sure about how to teach people to see that which we have been conditioned to fear knowing. The chapter concludeswith how to encourage and support collective and collaborative action as a critical goal of the process. ... Read more

How do we learn to recognize the damning effects of good rhetorical intentions? And where will we find arguments which escape this trap that permeates the liberal social policy world? i??Shifting Bordersi?? uses an evaluation of the debate over California Proposition 187 to demonstrate how this quandary is best understood by close interrogation of mainstream reports and debates and by bringing to the fore voices that are often left out of mediated discussions. It is these voices outside the mainstream, so-called i??outlawi??' discourses, that hold the best possibilities for real social change. To illustrate their claim, the authors present dominant and outlaw discourses around Proposition 187, from television reports, internet chat sites, and religious discourse to coverage of the Los Angeles Times. Their critique ably demonstrates how difficult it is to maintain a position outside the mainstream, but also how important it is for the press, citizens and scholars to actively search out such voices. The findings are organized through a model that provides an innovative method for understanding events and arguments through their rhetorical and communicative construction.In a world where the mediated word defines so much of what we know, i??Shifting Bordersi?? provides a lucid introduction to analyzing the spoken and written word that constitutes political debate in contemporary U.S. culture. In doing so, it makes an important contribution to any future development of progressive political strategy. Author note: Kent A.

Product Description
Racism, the Bible, and the American Dream is a frank discussion, from a Christian perspective, of the prevalence of institutional racism in America, and how that racism affects the lives of those who fall victim to it. Throughout history, the Bible has been erroneously used to justify prejudice and discrimination. This misuse of the Bible has been one of the main catalysts in the perpetuation of racism in America. The purpose of this book is threefold: to dispel any misconception of the Bible as a racist book, to encourage those who realize that racism exists in America, but are apathetic towards this realization, to let go of their apathy, and speak out against racism when the opportunity arises, and to redirect those who erroneously use the Bible as a weapon to justify racial hatred. A secondary aim is to enlighten the reader about the seriousness of institutional racism that does exist in America. ... Read more

Product Description
"Carroll provides abundant evidence of the importance of the Longoria incident for Mexican Americans, for a rising Lyndon Johnson, for Texas politics, and, indirectly, for U.S. society. His insights . . . have the potential of appealing to both historians and general readers, particularly those interested in Mexican American and/or Texas history."--Julie Leininger Pycior, author of Lyndon Johnson and Mexican Americans: The Paradox of PowerPrivate First Class Felix Longoria earned a Bronze Service Star, a Purple Heart, a Good Conduct Medal, and a Combat Infantryman's badge for service in the Philippines during World War II. Yet the only funeral parlor in his hometown of Three Rivers, Texas, refused to hold a wake for the slain soldier because "the whites would not like it." Almost overnight, this act of discrimination became a defining moment in the rise of Mexican American activism. It launched Dr. Héctor P. García and his newly formed American G.I. Forum into the vanguard of the Mexican civil rights movement, while simultaneously endangering and advancing the career of Senator Lyndon B. Johnson, who arranged for Longoria's burial with full military honors in Arlington National Cemetery. In this book, Patrick Carroll provides the first fully researched account of the Longoria controversy and its far-reaching consequences. Drawing on extensive documentary evidence and interviews with many key figures, including Dr. García and Mrs. Longoria, Carroll convincingly explains why the Longoria incident, though less severe than other acts of discrimination against Mexican Americans, ignited the activism of a whole range of interest groups from Argentina to Minneapolis. By putting Longoria's wake in a national and international context, he also clarifies why it became such a flash point for conflicting understandings of bereavement, nationalism, reason, and emotion between two powerful cultures--Mexicanidad and Americanism. ...

academic jargon bs
This is one of those books where academics engage in theoretical discussions, rather than actually telling the story of what happened with Felix Longoria. This is a real shame, because the story is very interesting. The author uses lots of jargon, but makes little sense. If like authors who talk about "the accommodative, culturally pluralistic model of integrative ideology that emerged out of the hybrid structuralist and antistructuralist process" then this is a book for you.

Excellent book!
I read this book for a Mexican-American history class. The book is about what happened to the remains of PFC Felix Longoria, an American citizen, who earned four medals for his service before dying during WWII. When he died, his body was shipped back to his hometown in Texas, but the only funeral parlor there refused to hold services for him because "the whites would not like it." This book introduces Dr. Héctor García as a character who should be studied in high school as an American civil rights leader, discusses LBJ's earlier career as a civil rights leader, and describes the lengths to which the Longoria family had to go in order to have Felix Longoria properly buried - at Arlington National Cemetery. By the time of his burial the Longoria debate had gone nation-wide and had lasting consequences.

This book is engaging, well-written, and opens up a whole new world of civil rights history. I highly recommend it as an excellent starting place for Mexican-American or Chicano/a history.

Product Description
The study of modern racism has tended to treat anti-Semitism and anti-black racism as separate and unconnected phenomena. This innovative study argues that a full understanding of the origins and development of racism in Europe after 1870 needs to examine the structure and interrelationships between the two dominant forms of prejudice. The "crisis of modernity" found expression in a deepening political racism, which was formulated, according to national contexts, through negative stereotypes of the black and the Jew which were structured in quite different ways. By weaving together the changing spatial and temporal dimensions of anti-Semitic and anti-black prejudice Neil MacMaster provides a fresh and more global framework for understanding modern racism. ...

Product Description
No blacks allowed, especially after dark. This was the unwritten rule in a "sundown" town. In his trademark revelatory style, bestselling author James W. Loewen explores one of America's best-kept secrets as he unearths the making of sundown towns and discloses the fact that many white neighborhoods and suburbs are the result of years of racism and segregation. Anna, Illinois; Darien, Connecticut; and Cedar Key, Florida, are just a few examples of the thousands of all-white towns established between 1890 and 1968, many of which still exist today. White residents of these towns used any means possible -- including the law, harassment, race riots, and even murder -- to keep African Americans and other minority groups out.

Powerful and unprecedented, Sundown Towns tells the story of how these towns came into existence, what maintains them, and what to do about them. It also deepens our understanding of the role racism has played and continues to play in our society. ... Read more

A Must-Read for all US Citizens
This is one of the most important books I've read in my lifetime.

James Loewen does a fantastic job of informing a nation of discrimination, white supremacy and racial exclusion that has been right under our noses, and that continues in some parts of the US today. Many who read this book (myself included) go into it with little or no prior knowledge of the existence of Sundown Towns. Yet, here they are, all around us.

This novel is surprisingly easy to read and understand, given it's disturbing subject matter. It's filled with accounts from people who have lived (or are currently living) in Sundown communities, and from those who have visited.

Loewen fills the text with facts & figures, in his usual style. However, the human element is alive in this book, compared to some of his others, and that difference makes it one of my favorites.

I read the book cover to cover, but this would be an excellent book to skim, or read for just the chapters that interest you. Loewen uses recurring themes and examples that carry throughout, but that are explained in the context of each chapter.

I highly recommend this book to each and every citizen of the United States, as a powerful reminder of discrimination that still occurs throughout the nation, and that desperately needs to cease.

Poorly done
It seems like he took every other scholars work and wrapped it up in a book. It would have been better if hegave the reader so first hand knowledge. The author seemed to want to be the story. Wasted my money on this book, it sucked.

This history needs to be known...
This history needs to be known.I grew up in a town in Illinois which was highly prejudiced; though there were no signs, everyone knew African-Americans stayed south of the railroad tracks after dark.I began reading about towns I'm familiar with.And I was shocked!There is little to no actual research involved at all!The author simply takes some unidentified person's comment and reports it as fact!I checked a number of towns, both those known to me and those unknown, and the majority of them were treated in the same way!"Someone said..."No respected historian would give a moment's credibility to this author!And that is a shame.There have been "Sundown Towns," but now most readers will shrug off such things because this "authority" is so obviously unreliable.Yes, this history needs to be known, but this author has blown it big time!

A recent conversation with Dr. Loewen
We recently had Dr. Loewen as a guest for an online meeting of the Everyday Democracy Book Club. It was interesting to hear whether he feels his book has made much of a difference (he doesn't, yet) and what needs to happen to overcome the legacy of Sundown Towns. Here's his prescription and a link to the conversation.

There are Better Books Out There
I tried very hard to get into this book, but had to put it down after 50 pages or so.I appreciate the scholarship, but Loewen's book reads like a MA or PhD thesis.Very dry.

The author spends inordinate amounts of ink explaining how he's going to break down the topic of whites-only towns.If I had a dollar for every time he uses the term "sundown town" in just 50 pages, I could fill up my gas tank for the next six months.I get it!The book's about Sundown Towns!You don't have to say this over and over.Even this might have been manageable if he just got to the point rather than taking so much time detailing how information will be presented in the rest of the book.

I knew I was really in trouble when Loewen referred to the section of photos as the "Portfolio." The whole package is way too dry and academic for my tastes.

As an alternative, I suggest Buried in the Bitter Waters: The Hidden History of Racial Cleansing in America. Here, the author comes right to the point.He's by a print journalist, so this is a very readable book on the same topic.Save your money and get this one. ... Read more

Product Description
Many people associate racism with bigoted individuals and radical groups on the fringes of society. Shirley Better argues that racism is much larger than negative attitudes and that it touches the very core of our lives as Americans. In this enhanced second edition, Better explores the historical origins of institutional racism, details its devastating effects on contemporary society such as the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, and outlines real possibilities for social, political, and economic change in the 21st century. Racism persists because dominant groups are unwilling to acknowledge, let alone give up, the benefits of whiteness. Through numerous examples, Institutional Racism demonstrates how inequality and racial exclusion are embedded within the fabric of American society. Better explores how racism has restricted equal access to educational opportunities, employment, and housing, and she considers the influence of racism in the criminal justice system. Beyond detailing the sometimes subtle institutional causes and pernicious effects of racism, Better offers numerous strategies for individuals and groups as they seek to combat this pervasive social problem. Institutional Racism is a must read for those whose seek to understand the underpinnings of racism and for everyone interested in the practical possibilities of racial pluralism and equality in the United States. ...

A solid primer for help in overcoming racism wherever you live
I am involved in a coalition to overcome institutional racism and I found this book very helpful. It had solid background information/history and a sensitive analysis of the problems confronting all people in the U.S. in the struggle to overcome racism. It gave an excellent basis for doing the work to overcome racism and included enough detail and examples to be both helpful and inspiring.

Product Description
Brazil has the largest African-descended population in the world outside Africa. Despite an economy founded on slave labor, Brazil has long been renowned as a "racial democracy." Many Brazilians and observers of Brazil continue to maintain that racism there is very mild or nonexistent. The myth of racial democracy contrasts starkly with the realities of a pernicious racial inequality that permeates Brazilian culture and social structure. To study the impact of this contrast on African Brazilians' view of themselves and their nation, Robin E. Sheriff lived in a primarily black shantytown in Rio de Janeiro, where she explored the inhabitants' views of race and racism firsthand. How, she asks, do poor African Brazilians experience and interpret racism in a country where its very existence tends to be publicly denied? How is racism talked about privately in the family and publicly in the community--or is it talked about at all? Sheriff's analysis is particularly important because most Brazilians live in urban settings, and her examination of their views of race and racism sheds light on common but underarticulated racial attitudes. This book is the first to demonstrate that urban African Brazilians recognize the deceptions of the myth of racial democracy--while embracing it as a dream of how their nation should be. Robin E. Sheriff is an assistant professor of anthropology at Florida International University. ... Read more
