Summary:

From the birth of the United States to the contemporary police shooting death of an unarmed Black youth, Beneath the Surface of White Supremacy investigates ingrained practices of racism, as well as unquestioned assumptions in the study of racism, upending and deepening our understanding. In this unsettling book, state violence and colonialism come to the fore in taking measure of the United States, past and present, while assimilation and colorblindness recede. Ultimately, Moon-Kie Jung challenges the dominant racial common sense and develops new concepts and theory for radically rethinking and resisting racisms. Book jacket.
