Race and Racism

Know about the book -

Race and Racism is written by Linda Martín Alcoff and published by Oxford University Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0197796915 (ISBN 10) and 9780197796917 (ISBN 13).

Alcoff here offers an analysis of racism and a path toward anti-racism that puts the history of colonialism at the center. The current rise of ethno-nationalism on both sides of the Atlantic is focused on migrants as the source of nearly every social problem. She argues that the far right can only be forestalled by directly addressing the Replacement Theory and the difficult implications of colonialism's continuing effects on global relations. White identities have been based in false histories, yet the truly varied experiences of whites are not well represented in the myths that grounded racial supremacy. Race and Racism maintains that If we face the truth about our histories, and understand them with more accuracy and nuance, we can formulate a way forward in unity.
