Learn moreThe definitive book on how systemic racism in America really works, revealing the vast and often hidden network of interconnected policies, practices, and beliefs that combine to devastate Black lives
In recent years, condemnations of racism in America have echoed from the streets to corporate boardrooms. At the same time, politicians and commentators fiercely debate racismās very existence. And so, our conversations about racial inequalities remain muddled.Ā
Ā
In Metaracism, pioneering scholar Tricia Rose cuts through the noise with a bracing and invaluable new account of what systemic racism actually is, how it works, and how we can fight back. She reveals howāfrom housing to education to criminal justiceāan array of policies and practices connect and interact to produce an even more devastating āmetaracismā far worse than the sum of its parts. While these systemic connections can be difficult to seeāand are often portrayed as ācolor-blindāāagain and again they function to disproportionately contain, exploit, and punish Black people. Ā

By helping us to comprehend systemic racismās inner workings and destructive impacts, Metaracism shows us also how to break freeāand how to create a more just America for us all.
