Book Synopsis
Proposes an understanding of the roots of racism, one that is based on attention to the role of emotion and the dynamics of persuasion. This ethnographic study argues against previous assumptions about racism, demonstrating how rhetoric and emotion, as well as the processes and culture of schools, are involved in the formation of racist beliefs.

Trade Review
