Hughes argues for a return to the ideals that inspired the American Civil Rights movement, showing how our departure from the colourblind ideal has ushered in a new era of fear, paranoia, and resentment marked by draconian interpersonal etiquette, failed corporate diversity and inclusion efforts, and poisonous race-based policies that hurt the very people they intend to help. Hughes exposes the harmful side effects of Kendi-DiAngelo style antiracism, from programmes that distribute emergency aid on the basis of race to revisionist versions of American history that hide the truth from the public.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThrough careful argument, Hughes dismantles harmful beliefs about race, proving that reverse racism will not atone for past wrongs and showing why race-based policies will lead only to the illusion of racial equity. By fixating on race, we lose sight of what it really means to be anti-racist. A racially just, colourblind society is possible. Hughes gives us the intellectual tools to make it happen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46510764720364,"sku":"9780593332450","price":77.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/6314293482399.jpg?v=1748804915"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/coleman-hughes.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
