One of our country's premier cultural and social critics, bell hooks has always maintained that eradicating racism and eradicating sexism must go hand in hand. But whereas many women have been recognized for their writing on gender politics, the female voice has been all but locked out of the public discourse on race.Killing Rage speaks to this imbalance. These twenty-three essays are written from a black and feminist perspective, and they tackle the bitter difficulties of racism by envisioning a world without it. They address a spectrum of topics having to do with race and racism in the United States: psychological trauma among African Americans; friendship between black women and white women; anti-Semitism and racism; and internalized racism in movies and the media. And in the title essay, hooks writes about the "killing rage"?the fierce anger of black people stung by repeated instances of everyday racism?finding in that rage a healing source of love and strength and a catalyst for positive change.bell hooks is Distinguished Professor of English at City College of New York. She is the author of the memoir Bone Black as well as eleven other books. She lives in New York City.

The classic work on American racism and the struggle for racial justice, now with a new foreword by Michelle AlexanderIn Faces at the Bottom of the Well, civil rights activist and legal scholar Derrick Bell uses allegory and historical example to argue that racism is an integral and permanent part of American society. African American struggles for equality are doomed to fail so long as the majority of whites do not see their own well-being threatened by the status quo. Bell calls on African Americans to face up to this unhappy truth and abandon a misplaced faith in inevitable progress. Only then will blacks, and those whites who join with them, be in a position to create viable strategies to alleviate the burdens of racism. "Freed of the stifling rigidity of relying unthinkingly on the slogan 'we shall overcome,'" he writes, "we are impelled both to live each day more fully and to examine critically the actual effectiveness of traditional civil rights remedies."With a new foreword by Michelle Alexander, Faces at the Bottom of the Well is urgent and essential reading on the problem of racism in America.

How can colorblindness - the idea that race does not matter - be racist? This illuminating book introduces the paradox of colorblind racism: how dismissing or downplaying the realities of race and racism can perpetuate inequality and violence. Drawing on a range of theoretical approaches and real-life examples, Meghan Burke reveals colorblind racism to be an insidious presence in many areas of institutional and everyday life in the United States. She explains what is meant by colorblind racism, uncovers its role in the history of racial discrimination, and explores its effects on how we talk about and treat race today. The book also engages with recent critiques of colorblind racism to show the limitations of this framework and how a deeper, more careful study of colorblindness is needed to understand the persistence of racism and how it may be challenged. This accessible book will be an invaluable overview of a key phenomenon for students across the social sciences, and its far-reaching insights will appeal to all interested in the social life of race and racism.

Friendship was once floating in the air
Waiting for someone to catch it
You and I saw it
And each took a piece
Then a chain bound our hearts together
The first weeks were happy and gay
Cheerful with melodical glee
Sharing cakes and candies
Is what we’ve done best
And said our friendship will never end
But towards the last days of the year
I’m in great sympathy
You forgot I’m your friend
And left me alone
Never thinking I was there
Where has friendship gone? I ask myself
My mind is full of pictures of you
The things we shared together
Like the rotten teeth we used to have
But now it’s all gone with the wind
Will it ever come back or never again?
I’m waiting for you to return
I know that friendship
Is floating somewhere
And we can start over once more

“You don’t have to be a full-on racist, just being a tiny bit racist is enough,” Kiwi director Taika Waititi says in a video for the New Zealand Human Rights Commission.
“Racism needs your help to survive.”
The New Zealander of the Year, known for What We Do in the Shadows and the upcoming Thor: Ragnarok, launched a tongue-in-cheek campaign on June 14 for those “suffering in silence” from racism. Race Relations Commissioner Susan Devoy, speaking with Radio NZ, said one in three formal complaints to the Human Rights Commission were about racial discrimination.
She said Waititi was an obvious choice for the “Give Nothing to Racism” campaign and said he took a day off from working on Thor to shoot this video. The campaign site states that “racism starts small and is a light feeder” and the sarcastic humour used by Waititi could “stop casual racism from growing into something more extreme.” Credit: New Zealand Human Rights Commission via Storyful

Appearing as a panelist on an Al Jazeera debate on the issue, former BJP MP Tarun Vijay chose to deny that attacks on Africans had anything to do with racism. He rubbished allegations of racism in India, saying:, "If we were racist, why would we have the entire south (India)? Which is you know, completely Tamil, you know Kerala, you know Karnataka and Andhra. Why do we live with them? We have blacks, black people around us. You are denying your own nation, you are denying your ancestry, you are denying your culture."
