Not being racist is not enough. We have to be antiracist. The author shows that when it comes to racism, neutrality is not an option. He punctures the myths and taboos from arguments about what race is and whether racial differences exist to the complications that arise when race intersects with ethnicity, class, gender and sexuality. In the process he demolishes the myth of the post-racial society and builds a new understanding of racism - what it is, where it is hidden, how to identify it and what to do about it
