Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A book on how systemic racism in America really works, revealing the vast and often hidden network of interconnected policies, practices, and beliefs that combine to devastate Black lives. 'A brilliant guide to a systemic malady that cannot be denied." ?Kirkus Reviews (starred review) In recent years, condemnations of racism in America have echoed from the streets to corporate boardrooms. At the same time, politicians and commentators fiercely debate racism's very existence. And so, our conversations about racial inequalities remain muddled. In Metaracism, pioneering scholar Tricia Rose cuts through the noise with a bracing and invaluable account of what systemic racism actually is, how it works, and how we can fight back. She reveals howfrom housing to education to criminal justicean array of policies and practices connect and interact to produce an even more devastating "metaracism" far worse than the sum of its parts. While these systemic connections can be difficult to seeand are often portrayed as "color-blind"again and again they function to disproportionately contain, exploit, and punish Black people. By helping us to comprehend systemic racism's inner workings and destructive impacts, Metaracism shows us also how to break freeand how to create a more just America for us all.
