Racism

Delve into the intricate history of racism with Racism by George M. Fredrickson, a thought-provoking exploration published by Princeton University Press in 2015. This revised edition spans 232 pages, offering readers a comprehensive analysis of the phenomenon of racism across different eras and societies.

Fredrickson poses critical questions: Are antisemitism and white supremacy merely manifestations of a broader issue? Why did racism not emerge in Europe until the fourteenth century, and what factors contributed to its rise in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries? The book also examines the severe institutionalized racism of the twentieth century and explores the dynamics within egalitarian societies.

This engaging and informative work is essential for anyone interested in understanding the roots and evolution of racism, making it a valuable addition to your library.
