In this book, Feagin develops a theory of systemic racism to
interpret the highly racialized character and development of this
society. Generally, I ask what distinctive social worlds have been
created by racial oppression over nearly four centuries and what
this has meant for the people of the United States. Because it is
the archetypal and prototypical racism in U.S. society, he focuses
centrally in this analysis on white-on-black oppression. After an
introductory chapter, he draws in later chapters on the
commentaries of black and white Americans in three historical
eras-the slavery era, the legal segregation era, and then those of
white Americans. Feagin examines how major institutions have been
thoroughly pervaded by racial stereotypes, ideas, images, emotions,
and practices. This system of racial oppression was not an accident
of history, but was created intentionally by white Americans. White
Americans labored hard to bring it forth in the 17th century and
have worked diligently to perpetuate that system ever since. While
significant changes have occurred in this racist system over the
centuries, key and fundamentally elements have been reproduced over
nearly four centuries, and U.S. institutions today imbed the
racialized hierarchy created in the 17th century. Today, as in the
past, racial oppression is not just a surface-level feature of this
society, but rather pervades, permeates, and interconnects all
major social groups, networks, and institutions across the society.
