This question is repeated daily in public and in the media. Calling someone racist in these times of mounting white supremacy seems to be a worse insult than racism itself. In our supposedly post-racial society, surely it's time to stop talking about race?\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis powerful refutation is a call to notice not just when and how race still matters but when, how and why it is said not to matter. Race critical scholar Alana Lentin argues that society is in urgent need of developing the skills of racial literacy, by jettisoning the idea that race \u003ci\u003eis\u003c\/i\u003e something and unveiling what race \u003ci\u003edoes\u003c\/i\u003e as a key technology of modern rule, hidden in plain sight. Weaving together international examples, she eviscerates misconceptions such as reverse racism and the newfound acceptability of 'race realism', bursts the 'I'm not racist, but' justification, complicates the common criticisms of identity politics and warns against using concerns about antisemitism as a proxy for antiracism. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eDominant voices in society suggest we are talking too much about race. Lentin shows why we actually need to talk about it more and how in doing so we can act to make it matter less.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alana Lentin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1509535713\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781509535712\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Polity Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/22\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.60d","brand":"Alana Lentin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994495746303,"sku":"9781509535712","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6ff8d373-a2b7-42da-a98c-492d4c03ba01.jpg?v=1683330492","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/why-race-still-matters-alana-lentin-9781509535712","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
