About this ebook
""Racial Bias Roots"" presents a comprehensive exploration of how physical differences evolved into deeply embedded social hierarchies that continue to shape modern society. The book uniquely combines historical analysis, contemporary research, and practical solutions to examine racial bias through multiple lenses.
By tracing the development of racial categorization from its colonial origins through present-day institutions, it reveals how these artificial constructs became powerful tools for economic exploitation and social control. The work progresses systematically through three main sections: the historical construction of racial categories, the institutionalization of bias, and evidence-based solutions for reducing prejudice.
Drawing from sociology, psychology, and economics, it examines how racial bias manifests in various sectors, including education, healthcare, and criminal justice. The book's strength lies in its integration of cognitive science research on implicit bias with broader institutional analysis, demonstrating how individual and systemic discrimination reinforce each other.
What sets this work apart is its practical focus on solutions, supported by real-world case studies and successful interventions. While maintaining scholarly rigor, it presents accessible strategies for addressing racial bias at both individual and institutional levels. The book serves as an invaluable resource for professionals, policy makers, and engaged citizens working toward racial equity, offering concrete frameworks for implementing change while acknowledging the complexity of dismantling long-standing discriminatory systems.
