Description

Polls show that half of us think racism doesn't exist . . .

'Illuminating, surprising, unnerving, moving . . . and, sadly, utterly necessary' - Sathnam Sanghera, bestselling author of Empireland

In the ground-breaking The Science of Racism Professor Keon West cuts through the divisive anecdotes and rhetoric with decades' worth of clear, factual, rigorous science - the data that reveals truths about racism that are shocking and tragic, but also (somehow) funny and entertaining.

He explains how we know, for example, that Black people are up to 50 per cent less likely to be called in to interview than identically qualified White people. He shows how we know the financial cost of selling items online while Black. He reveals the effects of racism on our friendships, relationships, healthcare and justice system. And he exposes the continued prevalence of racism, and the inadequacy of our many attempts to address it.

Whatever you've read before, this book will ensure that you never see racism in the same way again.

Sehr wissenschaftlich, gut präsentiert

Wenige Sachbücher, die ich bisher gelesen habe, sind gleichzeitig so auf so eine persönliche Art und sehr wissenschaftlich geschrieben. Keon West greift auf viele persönliche Erfahrungswerte zurück und kombiniert diese mit Daten und Fakten um das Thema Rassismus verständlich darzustellen. Es ist zwar nicht immer ein leichtes oder angenehmes Thema, aber das Buch redet nicht nur über Probleme, sondern auch Lösungswege oder vielmehr Lösungsstrategien.
