Problematizing Racism: From Racism 1.0 to Racism 2.0
Chapter 2 reveals how perceptions, theories, and definitions of racism have shifted because of evolving debates that often yield more heat than light. References to racism as bad attitudes have given way to new discursive frames that acknowledge its structural centrality to society in advancing elite priorities and class domination (Zuberi and Bonilla Silva 2008). Of particular note is growing awareness of racisms as multidimensional phenomena, with a corresponding need to customize discourses along neo-racism lines if there is any hope of understanding and solutions.
