Summary note

An explanation of the phenomenon of racism throughout history is sought in this book. Carter A. Wilson draws on and integrates the considerable literature on racism which has originated from economic, political, and cultural realms. In doing so he addresses four major goals: to resolve the major debates surrounding racism; to demystify racism; to provide an understanding of how racism has been sustained in various historical eras; and to discuss how racism takes on different forms throughout history.
