There is often a demand for a short, sharp definition of racism,
for example as captured in the popular formula Power + Prejudice=
Racism. But in reality, racism is a complex, multidimensional
phenomenon that cannot be captured by such definitions. In our
world today there are a variety of racisms at play, and it is
necessary to distinguish between issues such as individual
prejudice, and systemic racisms which entrench racialiazed
inequalities over time. This Very Short Introduction explores the
history of racial ideas and a wide range of racisms - biological,
cultural, colour-blind, and structural - and illuminates issues
that have been the subject of recent debates. Is Islamophobia a
form of racism? Is there a new antisemitism? Why has whiteness
become an important source of debate? What is Intersectionality?
What is unconscious or implicit bias, and what is its importance in
understanding racial discrimination? Ali Rattansi tackles these
questions, and also shows why African Americans and other ethnic
minorities in the USA and Europe continue to suffer from
discrimination today that results in ongoing disadvantage in these
white dominant societies. Finally he explains why there has been a
resurgence of national populist and far-right movements and
explores their implications for the future of racism. ABOUT THE
