Du Bois -- 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."-- |cProvided by publisher. 650 0 Racism|zUnited States|xHistory. 650 0 Racism in anthropology|zUnited States|xHistory. 650 0 Physical anthropology|zUnited States|xHistory. 650 7 Physical anthropology.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01062357 650 7 Racism.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01086616 650 7 Racism in anthropology.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01086650 651 7 United States.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 History.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 Fields, Barbara Jeanne,|eauthor.|1https://isni.org/isni/ 0000000083229644. 947 MARCIVE Processed 2022/11/04 994 C0|bMCP
