Shades of Intolerance: How Capitalism and Terrorism Shape Discrimination examines issues related to power dynamics in the United States, as well as globally. The book is designed to enhance readers' understanding of some primary motivations for prejudice and discrimination and how these are manifested in contemporary society.
Shades of Intolerance is organized into three sections. The first explores discrimination in America. The second section examines the implications of terrorism, which generates anxiety so profound it challenges the very fabric of society, in discriminatory attitudes and behaviors through a comparison of nation-states that have and have not experienced terrorist attacks. The third section links the impact of terrorism to contemporary social issues including the Black Lives Matter movement and the 2016 presidential campaign.
With its awareness of how discrimination is also a response to terrorism Shades of Intolerance moves beyond the already proven motivations for discrimination and brings the conversation solidly into the present moment. This thoughtful text is appropriate for courses in race and racism, diversity, and responsive social policy.
