In a provocative and controversial analysis, Wilbur C. Rich's The
Post-Racial Society is Here conclusively demonstrates that nation
is in midst of a post-racial society. Yet many Americans are
skeptical of this fundamental social transformation. The failure of
recognition is related to the remnants of the previous race-based
society. Recognizing the advent of a post-racial society is not to
gainsay recurrent racial incidents or a denial of the
socio-economic gap between the races. Using the findings of
historians and social scientists, this book outlines why the
construction and deconstruction of the race-based society was such
a difficult and daunting enterprise. Starting from the nation's
inception, Rich examines how the nation elites used racial
language, separate schools, and the media to divide Americans.
After World War II, the nation used U.S. Supreme Court rulings and
the Congressional passage of Civil Rights laws to dismantle the
institutional support for racial segregation and discrimination.
The black Civil Rights Movement facilitated and consolidated the
movement toward socio-political inclusion of African Americans.
Rich alerts the reader to the unprecedented progress made and why
the forces of the new global economy demand that we move faster to
make society more inclusive. This thought-provocking book should
interest scholars of sociology, Africana Studies, American studies
and African American politics.
