Understanding Racism: What It Is and How to Fight It - A Working-Class Perspective
$19.95
In this timely edition, labor activist and cultural theorist, J.D. Thomason offers a clear and concise exposition on the foundations of racism, it’s threat to democracy and why organized labor must take a leading role in fighting back.
Understanding Racism not only illustrates the historical basis of racist ideology, it also examines the “invention of whiteness” as a linguistic signifier designed to divide and disempower all working class people. Thomason examines how racist ideologies have survived and evolved since ancient times, through the Medieval and Modern periods and how racism has been revived in the present day. Understanding Racism also underscores the very real danger posed by contemporary racist ideologues and their organizations quietly operating in communities throughout the United States.
