Description
After Race: Racism in Contemporary Capitalism This book challenges traditional approaches to understanding racism, arguing that the concept of "race" has little value in social science and policy research. Darder and Torres contend that structural class inequality is crucial to grasping the growing significance of racism in America. The authors propose a new framework for studying racism, one that moves beyond simplistic debates between "race vs. class". By examining the ways in which capitalism perpetuates and amplifies racist attitudes, they aim to shed light on the complex relationships between economic inequality and racial oppression. By jettisoning the concept of "race" and focusing on its effects, Darder and Torres offer a fresh perspective on one of the most pressing issues of our time.
