The fifth edition of Racist America is thoroughly revised and updated, focusing on systemic racism and antiracism issues, especially those arising since the fourth edition (2019). Expanding the discussion on racialized intersectionality, as well as on the white racial frame, elite-white-male dominance system, and antiracist action, this book details how these racism realities continue to impact black, Latino, Asian, Indigenous, and white Americans. The book explains how and why the Black Lives Matter movement and other antiracist protests have erupted; how and why Latino, Asian, and Indigenous Americans have responded to expanding racist discrimination; and how and why a diverse array of Americans has demanded major societal responses to dismantle entrenched white racism.

This book examines the “who, what, when, where, and how” of elite-white-male dominance in U.S. and global society. In spite of their domination in the United States and globally that we document herein, elite white men have seldom been called out and analyzed as such. They have received little to no explicit attention with regard to systemic racism issues, as well as associated classism and sexism issues. Almost all public and scholarly discussions of U.S. racism fail to explicitly foreground elite white men or to focus specifically on how their interlocking racial, class, and gender statuses affect their globally powerful decisionmaking. Some of the power positions of these elite white men might seem obvious, but they are rarely analyzed for their extraordinary significance. While the principal focus of this book is on neglected research and policy questions about the elite-white-male role and dominance in the system of racial oppression in the United States and globally, because of their positioning at the top of several societal hierarchies the authors periodically address their role and dominance in other oppressive (e.g., class, gender) hierarchies.
