This third edition of Joe R. Feagin's Racist America is significantly revised and updated, with an eye toward racism issues arising regularly in our contemporary era. This edition incorporates more than two hundred recent research studies and reports on U.S. racial issues that update and enhance all the last edition's chapters. It expands the discussion and data on concepts such as the white racial frame and systemic racism from research studies by Feagin and his colleagues. The author has further polished the book to make it yet more readable for undergraduates, including eliminating repetitive materials, adding headings and more cross-referencing, and adding new examples, anecdotes, and narratives about contemporary racism. "Racist America is simply the most comprehensive, concise, and useful textbook on systemic racism in the United States. With its direct and explicit focus on systemic racism this classic in racism studies boldly navigates students beyond the confusing discursive maze of racism-evasive language like "race" and "the race issue." For more than a decade now I have used the previous editions in my racism courses with great success. I look forward to the many new insights and facts of this, the third edition, of Racist America." - Noel A. Cazenave, Sociology, University of Connecticut "Racist America offers a timely, accessible, and engaging overview of the intersections of race and power in the United States. It provides a comprehensive history of racism and a dynamic survey of contemporary issues. Of particular value, the new edition augments its established account of systematic racism with the notion of racial framing, a powerful tool for understanding the interplay of structure, ideology, and identity." -Richard King, Critical Culture, Gender, and Race Studies, Washington State University "Joe Feagin's Racist America forces readers to take a hard look at the schizophrenic worlds we live in regarding race. On one hand we are told repeatedly by the media that the election of a black President has ushered in an era of that is both post-race and color-blind. We also witness on a daily basis racist affronts such as a white man dressing up in black face as Tryvon Martin for Halloween, race targeted "stop and frisk" procedures and systemic institutional racism that maintains white privilege. Through use of historical analysis and current sociological research Feagin develops a "white frame" that decodes contemporary racist practices. Feagin's book is modern day Rosetta Stone for understanding why and how racial inequality is maintained and reproduced." -Charles A. Gallagher, Professor and Chair, Sociology and Criminal Justice, La Salle University "In this day and age, it is rare to read a manuscript on racism that insists on an understanding of the actual historical, political, and economic foundations of white supremacy over the en vogue post-structural incantations of identity politics that masquerade as systemic analysis. Unlike many other works in the area of anti-Black racism, Feagin's Racist America continues the intellectual radicality of Black thinkers who first conceptualized the systemic cultural reproduction of American racism. Much like W.E.B. DuBois's, Joyce Ladner's, and the late Derrick Bell's confrontation with integrationism, Feagin does not flinch against the post-racialist fantasies of the Obama era and dares America to confront the white imperial delusions motivating its pretense of democracy." -Tommy J. Curry, Philosophy, Texas AM University "Professor Feagin's Racist America provides multi-disciplinary analysis of 'systemic racism' for my classes (Race and Racism). I wholeheartedly endorse this new edition adding examples of family wealth racial disparities, institutional reformulation, 'other Americans of color' and symbolic racism in sports media, with 'framing' emanating from 'founding fathers' and 'constitutional' racism." -James V. Fenelon, Sociology, Director of Center for Indigenous
