Contemporary racism, sexism, and heterosexism all share an
important feature: they rely on less overt forms of discrimination
that preserve, protect, and mask the power of the dominant group.
In this context, racism is colorblind, sexism is gender blind, and
heterosexism is sexuality blind. This, however, creates all manner
of issues for people of color, women, and LGBTQ+ folks who must
navigate a culture that sees discrimination and inequality as a
thing of the past. Indeed, despite the multitude of legal, social,
and political advances made by these groups, inequality continues
to persist, but often in a more subtle, covert, and often invisible
manner. This edited book makes visible the multitude of subtle ways
racism, sexism, and heterosexism persist in an era where many
believe such inequalities are in the past. To do so, the authors
contributing to this book focus on interpersonal relationships--as
interpersonal relationships are one of the fundamental places where
inequality is reproduced. The value of this edited volume comes
from giving academics, students, and activists a more comprehensive
understanding of what inequality looks like in the contemporary
United States, and how this inequality is reproduced in our
everyday relationships. This information will also be useful for
social justice activists and policy makers who can rely on our
research to make more informed decisions that benefit marginalized
groups. This book serves as an insightful resource for academicians
who are interested in better understanding the ways inequality is
reproduced in the contemporary United States, and instructors
teaching about how inequality has changed over time, what
contemporary inequality/discrimination looks like, and social
justice-oriented faculty who want to expose and identify
inequalities in order to better make social change.
