White Supremacy and Racism in the Post-Civil Rights Era
Though many laws have been put in place to insure the rights of  minorities in the United States, there are still questions about  whether the beliefs of the white-majority population regarding  minorities have changed. Has the push for political correctness  encouraged people to rethink their beliefs? This book shows that  in many cases the white majority still holds negative  stereotypes about minorities and that many still believe that  whites are better. Using extensive research and interviews,  Bonilla-Silva (sociology, Texas A&M; Univ.) discusses the history  of discrimination in the United States and how in many cases  beliefs have not changed but have just been moved underground.  He also shows that institutional racism still plays a role in  society. With its extensive bibliography and end notes, this  book will find a home in academic libraries.
