Synopsis:

In The Propaganda of Racism, Connie Morris unpacks the powerful forces shaping society's beliefs about race. This work examines racism as a social construct–a concept society has created rather than one based on biological fact–and reveals its pervasive influence across domains like education, politics, religion, and media. Through vivid examples, Morris highlights how propaganda–deliberately biased information designed to sway public opinion–reinforces these racial constructs, upholding systemic inequalities.

Each chapter takes readers into a different societal sphere, providing historical context, essential terminology, and thought-provoking questions that encourage critical reflection and meaningful engagement. The Propaganda of Racism serves as a vital resource for students and educators in social sciences, criminology, and ethnic studies, offering strategies to dismantle harmful racial narratives and foster dialogue on racial justice. This essential work inspires hope for a more equitable future.
