The other half would disagree--vehemently. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e And much of the writing on the subject of race and racism is equally divisive, in large part because so much of it is based on opinion and personal experience. It's not grounded in empiricism. It's not science. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eThe Science of Racism, \u003c\/i\u003e social psychologist Keon West corrects that idea, moving this urgent conversation beyond anecdote and polemic in search of conclusive answers and solutions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Starting with a fascinating look at experiments around race in hiring, Dr. West brilliantly and methodically walks readers through our comprehensive understanding of this controversial topic. He looks at how racism impacts every stage and all facets of life, from birth to death, in education, work and business, friendships and relationships, police and the justice system, and healthcare. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e He also looks at the challenges around studying these questions and the ways we can uncover the truth, and then where we go from here: why unconscious bias training can actually make things worse, and what systems and techniques can lead us to a more equitable future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Keon West\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harry N.
