Racecraft

In this thought-provoking audiobook, sociologist Karen E. Fields and historian Barbara J. Fields challenge the common belief that racism stems from perceived human differences, introducing the concept of “racecraft”—the idea that racism actually creates the illusion of race. They explore how racecraft is deeply embedded in various aspects of American society, often unnoticed, and argue that this contributes to ongoing inequality and the failure to realize a post-racial society. The authors emphasize the importance of developing a proper language to discuss and address these issues to protect democratic institutions.
