Description: "Racist America is exploration of the ubiquity of racism in contemporary life. From the case of the black New Jersey dentist stopped by police more than 100 times for driving to work in an expensive car to that of the clerk who must defend her promotion against charges of undeserved affirmative action, Feagin lays bare the economic, ideological and political structure of American racism.

In so doing, he develops an antiracist theory rooted not only in the latest empirical data but also in the historical realities of American racism."--BOOK JACKET.
