“Faults in Racism” presents a comprehensive examination of how racial prejudice has shaped modern society, combining historical analysis with contemporary social science research to uncover the complex mechanisms that perpetuate racial discrimination. The book uniquely bridges the gap between historical documentation and current societal challenges, offering readers a deep understanding of how racist ideologies have evolved and adapted over time, particularly since the 17th century.
Through a three-part structure, the book first establishes the historical foundations of racist ideologies and their pseudo-scientific justifications, then examines their lasting economic consequences through detailed demographic and employment data. The final section explores the cultural impact of these systems through compelling case studies.
What sets this work apart is its interdisciplinary approach, weaving together insights from economics, sociology, anthropology, and political science to demonstrate how racial discrimination operates at both institutional and individual levels. The author presents fascinating evidence from legislative documents, academic writings, and social policies to demonstrate how racial hierarchies were deliberately constructed and maintained across different societies.
The analysis is particularly valuable for its practical applications, providing frameworks for identifying systemic racism in institutions and strategies for promoting inclusive policies. Written in an accessible yet scholarly style, the book serves as both a theoretical foundation and a practical guide for anyone interested in understanding and addressing racial inequities in contemporary society.
