Race and Ideology reveals how various strands of racial thinking
and behavior are crucial for maintaining the unequal distribution
of wealth that is more pronounced in the U.S. than in any other
advanced industrial country. Though primarily concerned with the
U.S., this collection contains chapters on other societies in order
to highlight commonalties and the global nature of the race/color
problem. This book proposes a new understanding of racism by
examining a variety of issues that show how racism and colorism,
along with other forms of oppression, are interconnected and
maintained by language, symbolism, and popular culture. It includes
such topics as how blackness is the symbolic bottom of the U.S.
social structure; how the teaching of language and culture can be a
tool for understanding inequality; and how the media contribute to
the dissemination of stereotypes of people of color. Race and
Ideology offers provocative ideas that must be confronted if we are
to construct an understanding of racism that can be useful for
social change.
