Selling Social Justice

"Selling Social Justice" examines how the 2020 racial reckoning has largely reinforced existing economic inequalities, with powerful institutions using antiracism to bolster their influence and evade regulation. Jennifer C. Pan explores how affluent elites and corporations have leveraged contemporary racial justice initiatives, often at the expense of working people, and how this has fueled divisive culture wars. The book questions whether the current approach to antiracism addresses the root causes of inequality in a rapidly changing economy.
