Silent Racism by Barbara Trepagnier
Vivid and engaging, Silent Racism persuasively demonstrates that silent racism-racism by people who classify themselves as not racist-is instrumental in the production of institutional racism
Silent Racism is a groundbreaking text that explores the other side of racism—the well-meaning people who consider themselves `non-racist’.. This book provides readers with rich empirical data, a strong theoretical foundation, and applied tools for teaching and social change. A significant contribution to race theory ... a must-read for anyone interested in understanding race in today’s society. -- Jeffrianne Wilder, Gender & Society (Sociologists for Women in Society)
“Important [because] it addresses white folks who see themselves as `not racist.’…This is a group that has been sorely understudied….Highly significant.” -- Eduardo Bonilla-Silva, Duke University
Barbara Trepagnier’s fine book on institutional racism is an important statement on this timely topic… Her provocative concept of “silent racism” can be nurtured with insights gained from comparative research across gender and social class…Her work is important to symbolic interactionists because she beings with Herbert Blumer’s idea of seeing racism as a social process. -- Joseph A. Kotarba, University of Houston in Symbolic Interactions
