This book considers institutional racism as a problem that exists
within modern societies. Its roots lie with the transatlantic slave
trade and slavery and the solution involves ridding society of the
problem. It is argued here that, first, there needs to be an
acceptance of its existence, then developing the tools needed to
deal with it and, finally, to implement those tools so that
institutional racism can be permanently removed from society. The
book has four themes: the first considers the nature of
institutional racism, the second theme looks at instances of
institutional racism through matters such as deaths in custody and
skin lightening, the third considers the concept of reparations and
the final area looks at the development of social movements as a
way of pushing institutional racism up the political agenda. The
development of a social movement is part of a social discourse
which would, for example, push mentoring as a form of reparations.
There is a need for more research on the manifestations of
institutional racism and this book is part of that discourse. It is
argued that the legacy of the slave trade and slavery is continuing
and contemporary through the presence of institutional racism in
society. This problem has not been addressed through legislation
and policies devised to combat racial discrimination. Institutional
racism needs to be understood as being located in the processes and
procedures of societal institutions.
