If we are to dismantle systemic racism and create a more just society, people need a place to begin. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis accessible, introductory, and interdisciplinary guide can be one such place. Grounded in critical race theory, this book uses the metaphor of the Racism Machine to highlight that race is a social construct and that racism is a system of oppression based on invented racial categories. It debunks the false ideologies that race is biological, that race has always existed, that systemic racism is over, and that anti-White racism is real. As a manual, this book presents clear instructions for understanding the history of race and how a small elite created a racial hierarchy to protect their power through a divide-and-conquer strategy that lives on today. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs a toolbox, this book provides a variety of specific action steps that readers can take to address racism in a post-civil rights era where extremists have weaponized the study of race and racism.","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46439767343255,"sku":"9781032763088","price":12300.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781032763088.webp?v=1769112550","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/dismantling-the-racism-machine-a-manual-and-toolbox-9781032763088","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
