Race, Racism and Critical Thinking in the United States examines the historical development and continuing impact of racism in American society through a critical analysis of law, public policy, and racial ideology. The book explores the meaning of racism, the role of white privilege and racial inequality during the New Deal, the transformation of race relations during the Civil Rights era, debates surrounding affirmative action, and the evolution of the concept of colorblindness from Plessy v. Ferguson through the post–Jim Crow era. By combining historical analysis with critical thinking, the text encourages readers to examine how race and racism continue to shape social institutions and public discourse in the United States.
