Colorblind: The Rise of Post-Racial Politics and the Retreat from Racial Equity by Tim Wise

Book Review: Colorblind: The Rise of Post-Racial Politics and the Retreat from Racial Equity by Tim Wise
“President Obama and other adherents to the post-racial liberal philosophy are flatly wrong. In fact, not only are they wrong about the ability of “universal” programs to reduce racial disparities in health, income or education; they are also wrong about the political value of race-neutral approaches. At the end of the day, avoiding conversations about race will not boost support for progressive social policy, and may in fact undermine it.”
