Many of the vestiges of the Civil Rights movement, including
initiatives such as affirmative action, are increasingly under
attack by those who assert that the Constitution is explicitly
"color-blind." In this argument, the government is not legally
permitted to take race into account in a "color conscious" manner.
More than 30 years have passed since the landmark Civil Rights Acts
became the law of the land. Yet, one of three African American men
between the ages of 18 and 27 is in the hands of the criminal
justice system, churches are burning in the South, and right-wing
militia groups are flourishing. In this provocative and timely
book, Leslie G. Carr suggests that the Constitution can be read as
"racist," and that the concept of "color-blindness" is in fact the
latest in a series of racist ideologies that have been part of the
American fabric. "Color-Blind" Racism provides a thorough
historical grounding in racist ideologies in the United States, and
will be of great interest to anyone teaching or studying race
relations, public policy, urban studies, and race and politics.
