[continuing our look at the origins of Whiteness Studies. it was founded in 1995. so very recent. drawn from suggestive bits in W.B DuBois and others]

Eduardo Bonilla-Silva, a professor of sociology at Duke, is the author of Racism without Racists: Color-Blind Racism and the Persistence of Racial Inequality in America. It is considered a fundamental text in the development of Whiteness Studies.

Eduardo Bonilla-Silva’s acclaimed Racism without Racists documents how beneath our contemporary conversation about race lies a full-blown arsenal of arguments, phrases, and stories that whites use to account for—and ultimately justify—racial inequalities. This provocative book explodes the belief that America is now a color-blind society.

The fourth edition adds a chapter on what Bonilla-Silva calls "the new racism," which provides the essential foundation to explore issues of race and ethnicity in more depth. This edition also updates Bonilla-Silva’s assessment of race in America after President Barack Obama’s re-election. Obama’s presidency, Bonilla-Silva argues, does not represent a sea change in race relations, but rather embodies disturbing racial trends of the past.

In this fourth edition, Racism without Racists will continue to challenge readers and stimulate discussion about the state of race in America today.
