| Summary: | The House That Race Built is the response by some of this country's most admired intellectuals to the crisis of democracy represented by the recent, ominous shift toward a renewed white racial nationalism. It is unified by a central argument that deserves to be at the heart of the national debate: that "race" and "racism" must be understood not just as referring to the relations between black and white Americans, but as constituting the central American dynamic by which a pervasive, antidemocratic social inequality is re-created, maintained, and justified to the detriment of all In a post-civil rights era of rapidly increasing economic and social apartheid, The House That Race Built makes us see how Americans' continuing delusory investments in the privileges of whiteness and the pathology of blackness uphold a social hierarchy that is destructive of democratic possibility. This book's analysis of race and racism extends to the complexities of within-the-group dynamics of black Americans. How race is defined, and who gets to talk about it, determine how race and American whiteness will be understood and used: either to reconsolidate racial domination or to establish racial democracy |

The House That Race Built is the response by
some of this country s most admired intellectuals
to the crisis of democracy represented by the
recent, ominous shift toward a renewed white
racial nationalism. It is unified by a central argu¬
ment that deserves to be at the heart of the
national debate: that race and racism must be
understood not just as referring to the relations
between black and white Americans, but as con¬
stituting the central American dynamic by which
a pervasive, antidemocratic social inequality is
re-created, maintained, and justified to the detri¬
ment of all.
Race is analyzed here not as a phenom¬
enon grounded in biology, or any other science,
but as the ideological means by which a system of
hierarchy and antidemocratic dominance is
established and perpetuated against the grain of
formal political commitments and the general
public interest in establishing equality and social
justice. In a post-civil rights era of rapidly
increasing economic and social apartheid, The
House That Race Built makes us see how
Americans continuing delusory investments in
the privileges of whiteness and the pathology of
blackness uphold a social hierarchy that is
destructive of democratic possibility. This book s
analysis of race and racism extends to the com¬
plexities of within-the-group dynamics of black
Americans. How race is defined, and who gets to
talk about it, determine how race and American
whiteness will be understood and used: either to
reconsolidate
racial domination or to establish
racial democracy.
