A groundbreaking work that exposes the twisted origins of affirmative action. In this "penetrating new analysis" (New York Times Book Review) Ira Katznelson fundamentally recasts our understanding of twentieth-century American history and demonstrates that all the key programs passed during the New Deal and Fair Deal era of the 1930s and 1940s were created in a deeply discriminatory manner. Through mechanisms designed by Southern Democrats that specifically excluded maids and farm workers, the gap between blacks and whites actually widened despite postwar prosperity. In the words of noted historian Eric Foner, "Katznelson's incisive book should change the terms of debate about affirmative action, and about the last seventy years of American history."

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 President Lyndon B. Johnson gave the first known affirmative action speech for black students at Howard University in 1965. He stated that the country had overcome legal segregation, but that the disparity between white and black Americans had widened after the Second World War. #2 By the start of 1965, the Selma voting rights campaign had already been going on for a year, and the second march had been led by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The campaign had been successful in demonstrating the need for voting rights legislation. #3 The civil rights movement was not just about black people, but about all Americans who had to overcome the crippling legacy of bigotry and injustice. #4 Following the civil rights movement, racial discrimination was made illegal across the country.

Affirmative Action examines the larger structure of institutional white privilege in education, and compares the magnitude of white racial preference with the policies typically envisioned when the term "racial preference" is used. In doing so, the book demonstrates that the American system of education is both a reflection of and a contributor to a structure of institutionalized racism and racial preference for the dominant majority.

Is a racial structure still firmly in place in the United States? White Supremacy and Racism answers that question with an unequivocal yes, describing a contemporary system that operates in a covert, subtle, institutional, and superficially nonracial fash on. Assessing the major perspectives that social analysts have relied on to explain race and racial relations, Bonilla-Silva labels the post-civil rights ideology as color-blind racism: a system of social arrangements that maintain white privilege at all levels. His analysis of racial politics in the United States makes a compelling argument for a new civil rights movement rooted in the race-class needs of minority masses, multiracial in character - and focused on attaining substantive rather than formal equality.
