Vivid and engaging, Silent Racism persuasively demonstrates that
silent racism - racism by people who classify themselves as "not
racist" - is instrumental in the production of institutional
racism. Trepagnier argues that heightened race awareness is more
important in changing racial inequality than judging whether
individuals are racist. The collective voices and confessions of
"non-racist" white women heard in this book help reveal that all
individuals harbor some racist thoughts and feelings. Trepagnier
uses vivid focus group interviews to argue that the oppositional
categories of racist/not racist are outdated. The oppositional
categories should be replaced in contemporary thought with a
continuum model that more accurately portrays today's racial
reality in the United States. A shift to a continuum model can
raise the race awareness of well-meaning white people and improve
race relations. Offering a fresh approach, Silent Racism is an
essential resource for teaching and thinking about racism in the
twenty-first century.You can find more information about Silent
