Reviews for Tacit Racism
“While many Americans continue to celebrate the collapse of the old Jim Crow order as a relic of the past, Tacit Racism reminds us of the myriad ways that racism continues to influence everyday life in US society and represents what the authors describe as a ‘clear and present danger’ to American democracy today.”
