"This Very Short Introduction challenges many common assumptions and guides the reader through the confusion surrounding racial issues in history, science, politics, and popular culture. Looking at a wide range of examples from both Western society and beyond, Ali Rattansi sheds light on contemporary debates such as the Holocaust, the continuing disadvantage of African Americans, 'institutional racism', racism and sexuality, 'Islamophobia', and the growing support for racist movements."--BOOK JACKET.
