THE MYTH OF RACIAL COLOR BLINDNESS
Manifestations, Dynamics, and Impact
Edited by Helen A. Neville, Miguel E. Gallardo, and Derald Wing Sue
Is the United States today a “post-racial” society?
Some might point to the election and re-election
of a Black president as conclusive evidence of
the progress made in race relations, but others
are not so sanguine. In this volume, top scholars
in psychology, education, sociology, and related
fields dissect the concept of color-blind racial
ideology (CBRI), the widely-held belief that skin
color does not affect interpersonal interactions,
and that interpersonal and institutional racism
therefore no longer exists in American society.
Contributors survey the theoretical and empirical
literature on racial color-blindness; discuss novel
ways of assessing and measuring color-blind
racial beliefs; examine related characteristics
such as lack of empathy (among Whites) and
internalized racism (among people of color); and assess the impact of CBRI in
education, the workplace, and health care—as well as the racial disparities that
such beliefs help foster. Finally, they recommend ways to counter color-blind racial
beliefs by advocating for and implementing race-conscious policies and practices
that aim to create equal access and opportunities for all. 2016. 320 pages. Hardcover.
