Description
Book SynopsisThe question of covert racism has been splashed across the headlines in recent times through incidents in football, with John Terry, Stan Collymore and Luis Suarez all involved; politics, with Dianne Abbott accused of racism; and the metropolitan police with two of Stephen Lawrence's killers put behind bars and allegations of `institutional racism' resurging. Covert Racism tackles our cultural norms and acceptances in a 'post-racial' society.

This is a useful one-stop guide devoted to explaining how, to borrow from Eduardo Bonilla-Silva, “racism without racists' works. Summing Up: Recommended. All levels/libraries." —Choice
