Summary:

Bonilla-Silva exposes the superficially nonracial social arrangements that maintain white supremacy in the U.S. today.

Assessing the major perspectives that social analysts have relied on to explain race and racial relations, Bonilla-Silva labels the post-civil rights ideology as color-blind racism: a system of social arrangements that maintain white privilege at all levels. His analysis of racial politics in the United States makes a compelling argument for a new civil rights movement rooted in the race-class needs of minority masses, multiracial in character--and focused on attaining substantive rather than formal equality.
