The Science of Racism: the shocking reality of an unequal world
Polls show that over 50% of us don’t believe racism exists. In a world made for White people, The Science of Racism uses clear scientific research to expose what we know about racism, exactly how we know it, and what we can do about it.
'Illuminating, surprising, unnerving, moving . . . and, sadly, utterly necessary' - Sathnam Sanghera, bestselling author of Empireland
*British police are nine times more likely to use their tasers on Black people. *An item being advertised on eBay will sell for approximately 20% less if a dark-skinned hand is shown in the photos. *Black Caribbean applicants have to apply for round 50% more jobs in order to receive a positive response.
In the ground-breaking The Science of Racism, Professor Keon West cuts through the divisive anecdotes and rhetoric with decades’ worth of clear, factual, rigorous science – the data that reveals truths about racism that are shocking and tragic, but also (somehow) funny and entertaining.
Whatever you’ve read or listened to before, this audiobook will ensure that you never see racism in the same way again.
