"With the rise of Trump, ethno-nationalism has become a tolerable perspective amongst far too many scholars and universities. This newly updated edition of Racist America explains why the racist climate in the United States is a deliberate and historically designed pattern of domination intimately tied to American democracy. The racism of America requires an unflinching and courageous analysis like that offered by Feagin and Ducey. The additions to the text exploring the racist backlash against the Obama presidency and the organization of white society around this political event offer readers much too think about. Much like the timelessness of white violence against Blacks, Feagin and Ducey have shown the enduring accuracy of, and need for, their analysis." Dr. Tommy Curry, Philosophy, Texas A&M University

"Racist America is simply the most comprehensive, concise, and useful textbook on systemic racism in the United States. With its direct and explicit focus on systemic racism, this classic in racism studies boldly navigates students beyond the confusing discursive maze of racism-evasive language like 'race' and the 'race issues.' For more than a decade now, I have used previous editions in my racism courses with great success. I look forward to the many new insights of this new fourth edition of Racist America." Noel Cazenave, Sociology, University of Connecticut

"Racist America offers a timely, accessible, and engaging overview of the intersections of race and power in the United States. It provides both a comprehensive history of racism and a dynamic survey of contemporary issues. Of particular value, the new edition augments its established account of systematic racism with the notion of racial framing, a powerful tool for understanding the interplay of structure, ideology, and identity." Richard King, Humanities, History, and Social Sciences, Columbia College Chicago
