Originally published in 2003, this is the sixth edition and has been updated to include new material." – Randee, Reading for Understanding Workgroup</p><p>“Eduardo Bonilla-Silva's acclaimed Racism without Racists examines in detail how Whites talk, think, and account for the existence of racial inequality and makes clear that color-blind racism is as insidious now as ever. The sixth edition of this provocative book includes new material on systemic racism and how color-blind racism framed many issues during the COVID-19 pandemic. A revised conclusion addresses what readers can do to confront racism-both personally and on a larger structural level.” Source: <a href="https://bookshop.org/books/racism-without-racists-color-blind-racism-and-the-persistence-of-racial-inequality-in-america-9781538151419/9781538151419" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://bookshop.org/books/racism-without-racists-color-blind-racism-and-the-persistence-of-racial-inequality-in-america-9781538151419/9781538151419</a></p><p></p><h2>Purchase the book from Blackstone Bookstore, Ypsilanti, Michigan.</h2><p>Each month we are celebrating a black-owned bookstore.
