From traditional to liberal racism: Living racism in the everyday
Article Abstract:
Hundreds of entries in student journals collected at a university in the Mountain West are studied and a striking contradiction between an articulated understanding of racism as 'a thing of the past' and the reality of a persistent and pervasive racism are captured. It is concluded that the contemporary 'colorblind' discourse of the liberal era suggests an ongoing race project centered on the maintenance of white privilege.
