Book Synopsis

'Racism is not what you think it is'

The Racism Handbook

It’s the morning and at some point today, tomorrow or next week you will be ‘a victim of racism’. Without a doubt an incident will happen. Something hurtful will be said. You may overlook look it but deep-down you know it’s racism. Yet, does ‘a victim of racism’ sound too harsh? Surely there are different levels to racism? Or are there representations of racism? Well, that depends on how you understand racism.

If racism is dehumanisation, what then is the utility of a supposed hierarchy of ‘racisms’ – and to whose benefit?

The Racism Handbook for People Classified as Black: A Guide to How Racism Really Works: attempts to be scientific in its approach. It outlines the historical background, development, context and function of modern ‘race’ and racism as it applies to ‘black’ people.

As a ‘black’ person you cannot work-out how racism completely functions by just ‘thinking about’ it in your head – it cannot be done. This book explains exactly what racism ‘race’ and racism is and when it first began. It answers the questions:

When did people start calling each other black and white, red, brown and yellow?

It unravels contemporary racist practise and racist coded language directed against ‘black’ people. It explains how nineteenth century ‘race’ theories work. It focuses on key players who helped to form and reinforce them. It outlines the motivations and meaning behind European expansionism – which it argues is essentially ‘racism’.

It explains the centrality of 'race' to the making of the modern world.

This handbook discusses difficult questions such as how can the world become post-racial when globally dominant Europeans insist on being ‘classified as white’ people’?

Surely, the first stage of a post-racial world is to eliminate 'race' terminology such as: 'white', 'black' or asian etc.

The handbook it explores the way that: ‘racism’ has its own logic – racial logic – which is foundational to the ‘theory’ and practise of ‘racism, white supremacy’. It reveals how this ‘logic’ presents itself as endless race-based social and political contradictions’ which are enforced at all costs in order to maintain domination and unequal outcomes in: employment, income, wealth, housing, education, health care and the criminal justice system.
