Reviews

Timely, provocative, and challenging. The Reader's Catalog Bulletin ...Wellman provides insight on how the racial ideas of scholars filter into meanings of race for individual Americans....Wellman's exploration of white racism dramatically confirms the almost unconscious nature of racism....Wellman shows that race is a fundamental component of American national identity....Racism, as Wellman elucidates in his analysis, has its roots in the structure of the society, not in the separate psyches of flawed and prejudiced individuals. Debra Van Ausdale, Journal of American Ethnic History
