Summary

Race. You know it at a glance: he's black; she's white. They're Asian; we're Latino. Racism. I'm better; she's worse. Those people do those kinds of things. We all know it's wrong to make these judgments, but they come faster than thought. Why? Where did those feelings come from? Why are they so powerful?The author traces the history of racial prejudice in the Western world from ancient times to the present, identifying events and individuals that have influenced people's conceptions about race
