Tackling the myth of a post-racial society 
Most people assume that racism grows from a perception of human difference: the fact of race gives rise to the practice of racism. Sociologist Karen E. Fields and historian Barbara J. Fields argue otherwise: the practice of racism produces the illusion of race, through what they call “racecraft.” And this phenomenon is intimately entwined with other forms of inequality in American life. So pervasive are the devices of racecraft in American history, economic doctrine, politics, and everyday thinking that the presence of racecraft itself goes unnoticed. 
That the promised post-racial age has not dawned, the authors argue, reflects the failure of Americans to develop a legitimate language for thinking about and discussing inequality. That failure should worry everyone who cares about democratic institutions.

A new edition of a celebrated contemporary work on race and racism Praised by a wide variety of people from Ta-Nehisi Coates to Zadie Smith, Racecraft "ought to be positioned," as Bookforum put it, "at the center of any discussion of race in American life." Most people assume racism grows from a perception of human &nbsp;difference: the fact of race gives rise to the practice of racism. &nbsp;Sociologist Karen E. Fields and historian Barbara J. Fields argue &nbsp;otherwise: the practice of racism produces the illusion of race, through &nbsp;what they call "racecraft." And this phenomenon is intimately entwined &nbsp;with other forms of inequality in American life. So pervasive are the &nbsp;devices of racecraft in American history, economic doctrine, politics, &nbsp;and everyday thinking that the presence of racecraft itself goes &nbsp;unnoticed. That the promised post-racial age has not dawned, the &nbsp;authors argue, reflects the failure of Americans to develop a legitimate &nbsp;language for thinking about and discussing inequality. That failure &nbsp;should worry everyone who cares about democratic institutions.
