PDF-(BOOS)-Racecraft: The Soul of Inequality in American Life

A new edition of a celebrated contemporary work on race and racismPraised by a wide variety of people from TaNehisi Coates to Zadie Smith Racecraft ought to be positioned as Bookforum put it at the center of any discussion of race in American lifeMost 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 unnoticedThat the promised postracial 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.
