Du Bois -- Conclusion : racecraft and inequality. 520 $a "Most people assume racism grows from a perception of human difference: the fact of race gives rise to the practice of racism. Sociologist Karen E. Fields and historian Barbara J. Fields argue otherwise: the practice of racism produces the illusion of race, through what they call "racecraft." And this phenomenon is intimately entwined with other forms of inequality in American life. So pervasive are the devices of racecraft in American history, economic doctrine, politics, and everyday thinking that the presence of racecraft itself goes unnoticed. That the promised post-racial age has not dawned, the authors argue, reflects the failure of Americans to develop a legitimate language for thinking about and discussing inequality. That failure should worry everyone who cares about democratic institutions."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Racism $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Racism in anthropology $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Physical anthropology $z United States $x History. 700 1 $a Fields, Barbara Jeanne, $e author. $1 https://isni.org/isni/0000000083229644 941 $a 2 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417020929.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220624010200.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F2E18028F38211EC9AFA726C57ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
