Racism has never been simple. It wasn't more obvious in the past,
and it isn't less potent now. From the birth of the United States
to the contemporary police shooting death of an unarmed Black
youth, Beneath the Surface of White Supremacy investigates
ingrained practices of racism, as well as unquestioned assumptions
in the study of racism, to upend and deepen our understanding. In
Moon-Kie Jung's unsettling book, Dred Scott v. Sandford, the
notorious 1857 Supreme Court case, casts a shadow over current
immigration debates and the "war on terror." The story of a 1924
massacre of Filipino sugar workers in Hawai'i pairs with
statistical relentlessness of Black economic suffering to shed
light on hidden dimensions of mass ignorance and indifference. The
histories of Asians, Blacks, Latina/os, and Natives relate in
knotty ways. State violence and colonialism come to the fore in
taking measure of the United States, past and present, while the
undue importance of assimilation and colorblindness recedes.
Ultimately, Jung challenges the dominant racial common sense and
develops new concepts and theory for radically rethinking and
resisting racisms.
