edited volume on covert racism
A number of  scholars from a variety of different racial/ethnic
backgrounds are invited to write essays from different
perspectives on the subject of covert racism.  The contributors would
be encouraged to integrate their own lived experience.  By "covert
racism," I mean racism as expressed by people who do not consider
themselves as racists, usually quite the contrary.  So we're talking
about "unintended" racism, with the implication that many people are
racist in varying degrees, often without knowing it.  The book would
thus paint a more realistic and accurate portrait of racism in America
today, in which latent racism only perpetuates racial inequality.  This
experience-driven collection of essays would also help illuminate
institutional racism.

I believe this myth-breaking book would be widely adopted as a
supplement in race/ethnic and inequality courses because it would offer
authentic voices--primary materials, real research and points of
view--that would encourage students to reach their own conclusions and
thus foster activelearning/critical thinking on their part.
