In the third edition of his highly acclaimed book,
Bonilla-Silva continues to challenge color-blind thinking.
He has now extended this challenge with a new chapter on
Obama's election addressing the apparent miracle of a black
man elected as the 44th President of the nation despite the
fact that racial progress has stagnated since the 1980s and,
in some areas, even regressed. In contrast to those who
believe the election of President Obama is a watershed
moment that signifies the beginning of a post-racial era in
America, he suggests this development embodies the racial
trends of the last 40 years including two he has addressed
in this book: the rise of color-blind racism as the dominant
racial ideology and the emergence of an apparently more
flexible racial stratification system he characterizes as
Latin America-like.
Some material from previous
editions, including 'Answers to Questions from Concerned
Readers,' 'What is to Be Done,' and an Appendix detailing
interview questions, is now available on the Rowman &
Littlefield website through the Teaching/Learning Resources
link.
