This edition incorporates many recent research studies and reports on U.S. racial issues that update and enhance the last edition's chapters. It expands the discussion and data on social science concepts such as intersectionality and gendered racism, as well as the concepts of the white racial frame, systemic racism, and the elite-white-male dominance system from research studies by Joe Feagin and his colleagues. The authors have further polished the book and added more examples, anecdotes, and narratives about contemporary racism to make it yet more readable for undergraduates.

This newly updated edition of \u003ci\u003eRacist America\u003c\/i\u003e explains why the racist climate in the United States is a deliberate and historically designed pattern of domination intimately tied to American democracy. The racism of America requires an unflinching and courageous analysis like that offered by Feagin and Ducey. The additions to the text exploring the racist backlash against the Obama presidency and the organization of white society around this political event offer readers much too think about. Much like the timelessness of white violence against Blacks, Feagin and Ducey have shown the enduring accuracy of, and need for, their analysis. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eDr. Tommy Curry, Philosophy, Texas A\u0026amp;M University\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRacist America\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eis simply the most comprehensive, concise, and useful textbook on systemic racism in the United States. With its direct and explicit focus on systemic racism, this classic in racism studies boldly navigates students beyond the confusing discursive maze of racism-evasive language like \"race\" and the \"race issues.\" For more than a decade now, I have used previous editions in my racism courses with great success.

It provides both a comprehensive history of racism and a dynamic survey of contemporary issues. Of particular value, the new edition augments its established account of systematic racism with the notion of racial framing, a powerful tool for understanding the interplay of structure, ideology, and identity.\u003cb\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRichard King, Humanities, History, and Social Sciences, Columbia College Chicago\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRacist America\u003c\/em\u003e forces readers to take a hard look at the schizophrenic worlds we live in regarding race. Through use of historical analysis and current sociological research Feagin develops a \"white frame\" that decodes contemporary racist practices.

From housing to education, the labor market to civil rights, the pervasiveness of racism provided here should put to rest the suggestion that racism is a deviance from the democratic norm. Both systemic and systematic, racism is thus understood as central to U.S. nation creation and the maintenance of a racialized order. Using analytic rigor and evidence, and now ably helped by co-author Kimberley Ducey, Feagin's book remains the authoritative book for all students and scholars who are serious in taking on the academic study of race and racism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eZeus Leonardo, \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eProfessor and Associate Dean of Education, \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eUC Berkeley, and Author of \u003c\/em\u003eRace Frameworks\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn clear and accessible prose, Feagin and Ducey summarize the latest research on discrimination in employment, housing markets, and the criminal justice system.
