Race and Racism in the West

Résumé du livre

"An anthology for use in courses on multiculturalism and ethnicity. The book addresses some of the western hemisphere's historical attitudes about racial identity. These include the concept of white privilege, the presence of paternalism, and the desirability of a color-blind society. A discussion of the psychology of the colonizer and the colonized demonstrates how historic processes cast long shadows over many societies, and that today's issues are often rooted in the past."--Page 4 of cover
