The Science of Racism: Everything You Need to Know but Probably Don’t—Yet

byKeon West

Social psychologist Keon West provides a research-based introduction to how racism operates in attitudes, institutions, relationships, and daily life. He addresses common questions and misconceptions by examining evidence on prejudice, discrimination, implicit bias, policing, health, education, and inequality. Rather than treating racism solely as personal hostility, West shows how individual behavior interacts with social systems and historical conditions. Written for readers who want clarity rather than slogans, the book explains how researchers measure racial inequality, why some proposed remedies fail, and which approaches show genuine promise for reducing harm and building fairer institutions.
