       Conclusion : racecraft and inequality. 
520    "Most people assume racism grows from a perception of 
       human  difference: the fact of race gives rise to the 
       practice of racism.  Sociologist Karen E. Fields and 
       historian Barbara J. Fields argue  otherwise: the practice
       of racism produces the illusion of race, through  what 
       they call "racecraft." And this phenomenon is intimately 
       entwined with other forms of inequality in American life. 
       So pervasive are the devices of racecraft in American 
       history, economic doctrine, politics,  and everyday 
       thinking that the presence of racecraft itself goes 
       unnoticed.  That the promised post-racial age has not 
       dawned, the authors argue, reflects the failure of 
       Americans to develop a legitimate language for thinking 
       about and discussing inequality. That failure  should 
       worry everyone who cares about democratic institutions."--
