The other half would disagree—vehemently.\n\nAnd much of the writing on the subject of race and racism is equally divisive, in large part because so much of it is based on opinion and personal experience. It’s not grounded in empiricism. It’s not science.\n\nIn The Science of Racism, social psychologist Keon West corrects that idea, moving this urgent conversation beyond anecdote and polemic in search of conclusive answers and solutions.\n\nStarting with a fascinating look at experiments around race in hiring, Dr. West brilliantly and methodically walks readers through our comprehensive understanding of this controversial topic. He looks at how racism impacts every stage and all facets of life, from birth to death, in education, work and business, friendships and relationships, police and the justice system, and healthcare.\n\nHe also looks at the challenges around studying these questions and the ways we can uncover the truth, and then where we go from here: why unconscious bias training can actually make things worse, and what systems and techniques can lead us to a more equitable future.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1419774379\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: GBV.1419774379.N\u003cbr\u003eCondition: New\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:West, Keon\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Good Books Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53874396856625,"sku":"GBV.1419774379.N","price":6.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0914\/3730\/2065\/files\/1419774379-0.jpg?v=1776711466","url":"https:\/\/goodbookscompany.org\/products\/the-science-of-racism-everything-you-need-to-know-but-probably-don-t-yet","provider":"Good Books Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
