In "Getting Beyond Race, " Richard Payne takes the practical
approach that race relations are ultimately about ordinary people
interacting with each other. Payne argues that confrontation,
blaming, and dwelling on failure in race relations are not as
productive as adopting a positive view and looking at individual
success stories. Drawing from his own experience of having lived
with different racial groups and hundreds of conversations with
Americans from all walks of life and racial backgrounds, he writes
about those who are helping to reduce the significance of race in
society and through their actions are creating models of behavior
for America's future.Payne covers topics from how race is an
artificial concept created for social purposes to race in the
military, interracial marriages and adoptions, affirmative action,
and the effects of generational change and immigration on racial
attitudes in America. Instead of looking at questions of race
simply in terms of black-white relations, he expands his discussion
to include Latinos, Asians, and other people of color. Moreover,
Payne contends that the very concept of race is being weakened by
fundamental changes throughout many facets of American culture.
This book looks forward and offers concrete suggestions for getting
beyond race.
