Racism: a Global Problem (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

The author has been fascinated by the problem of racism from the time he first encountered it in September 1957 when he arrived in the United Kingdom. And over the period of 60 years of adulthood he has tried to understand the causes of this dangerous ideology. Are People born racist or is it an acquired characteristic? Why did Europe become associated with racism? What are the effects, economic, political and psychological on both the racists and their victims? Can racism be eradicated? Why arent white women racist or insignificantly so compared with men? These are a few of the questions and issues about racism which have interested the author for many years. It is hoped that the reader would not only find this book interesting but he/she would make a contribution however modest toward the elimination of this global problem which has brought immense calamity to the world.
