Reviews

“An absolutely vital book that bursts the delusional fallacies of racism. Rigorous, authentic and eye opening this book is a must to offer substance to the debates about racism and how we challenge it.” Kehinde Andrews, Birmingham City University and author of The Psychosis of Whiteness “With clear language that renders dense theoretical concepts approachable and concrete suggestions for incorporating the lessons learned into our daily practices, The Fallacies of Racism stands out as a must-read text for anyone hoping to understand contemporary racism in the United States.” Tanya Golash-Boza, University of California, Merced “Marrying clever metaphors and undeniably relatable examples with an impressive range of concepts and evidence, Jennifer Sims’s accessible, thorough, and disarming practical guide invites readers to greater wisdom about how common perceptions work to ‘misunderstand’ the social fact of racism and reinforce white supremacy – and offers new tools for recognizing and intervening on such patterns.” Jennifer Mueller, Skidmore College
