The problem of racism has been rampant in cultures since the beginning of time. And yet, even in contemporary societies, our understanding of why racism manifests, or why racist beliefs have become so ingrained in certain environments or situations, has never been properly investigated. Although many would like to believe that issues of racism and prejudice in general have become the exceptions rather than the rule in contemporary societies, in a post-Brexit and President Trump culture with the neurotic need for control, it has become clear that these toxic beliefs have remained just as dominant as ever. Taking a detailed look into the many facets of the prejudiced mind, The Case Against Racism shines a light on the inner workings of discriminatory people whose own damaged psychology manifests in xenophobic attitudes, anti-Semitic actions and the dangerous spreading of White Supremacy. Analysing closely the issues on every side of culture, investigating how the mind, the media, and social groups all play a role in contributing in one way or another to the problem, no stone is left unturned in Roger Nelson's eye opening exploration of human nature. Covering the building blocks of racism and analysing the ins-and-outs of the prejudiced mind, Roger Nelson's examination of a problem that continues to cripple society is more relevant today than ever before. Drawing from a wide body of research and texts both historical and contemporary, The Case Against Racism compiles a series of must read investigations that bestows much-needed insight into a problem that just won't go away.
