This provocative book explodes the belief that America is now a color-blind society.<br /><br />The fourth edition adds a chapter on what Bonilla-Silva calls "the new racism," which provides the essential foundation to explore issues of race and ethnicity in more depth. This edition also updates Bonilla-Silva’s assessment of race in America after President Barack Obama’s re-election. Obama’s presidency, Bonilla-Silva argues, does not represent a sea change in race relations, but rather embodies disturbing racial trends of the past.<br /><br />In this fourth edition, </span><span style="font-style:italic;">Racism without Racists</span><span> will continue to challenge readers and stimulate discussion about the state of race in America today.</span></span>
