The race card : how bluffing about bias makes race relations worse / Richard Thompson Ford.

• Introduction: Playing the race card -- Racism without racists -- Wild card : racism by analogy -- Calling a spade a spade : defining discrimination -- The clash of ends : contested goals -- Post-racism : why the race card is a crisis of success.

• Argues that ubiquitous accusations of discrimination in the United States frequently distract from serious racial injustices, which, in the ambivalent aftermath of the civil-rights era, "stem from isolation, poverty, and lack of socialization as much as from intentional discrimination or racism." Drawing on examples from popular culture and the law, Ford guides the reader through the worst of these abuses, and articulates a strategy for dealing with systematic injustice in a world of "racism without racists." Adapted from New Yorker 3-10-2008 review.
