| Summary |
From slavery to George Floyd, discover the history of racism in the USA, from its beginning to today. Welcome to the 21st century, the time when racism is alive and well, even though everybody claims they live in a post-racial society. In order to fight the racist thought, it is essential that people first understand how racist ideas were developed, disseminated, and enshrined in American society. Written by Seymour Abrahams, American Racism Paradox explores the idea of racism from the day it appeared until today. Abrahams points out that, contrary to popular belief, racism didn't appear because of hatred or ignorance. Instead, it was devised by the brilliant minds of each era. These people wanted to entrench discriminatory policies and the nation's racial disparities in everything from wealth to health. Here's what American Racism Paradox has to offer: The History of Racism: Discover when racism appeared and how it managed to infect the minds of millions of Americans. From Colonialism Until Today: Find out how racism shaped the society since the 18th century and how it changed to become more heinous than ever before. A New Type of Slavery: Learn how people of color are slaves to the white supremacist society, even now in the 21st century. And much more! Even though racist ideas are easily produced, they can be as easily discredited. Abrahams wrote this book as an additional attempt to fight racism. American Racism Paradox sheds a light on the murky history of racist ideas and offers the listener all the tools they need to expose them. The fight against racism is not over; it is just getting started! |
