Förlagets information

'It is quite a feat to pull off a densely informative book about a horrible subject that also manages to be charismatic and funny . . . Highly readable' - The Guardian

Polls show that over fifty per cent of us don't believe racism exists. In a world made for White people, The Science of Racism uses clear scientific research to expose what we know about racism, exactly how we know it, and what we can do about it.

*British police are nine times more likely to use their tasers on Black people.

*An item being advertised on eBay will sell for approximately twenty per cent less if a dark-skinned hand is shown in the photos.

*Black Caribbean applicants have to apply for around fifty per cent more jobs in order to receive a positive response.

Professor Keon West cuts through the divisive anecdotes and rhetoric with decades' worth of clear, factual, rigorous science - the data that reveals truths about racism that we need to know. And, somehow, entertains and amuses along the way.

'Illuminating, surprising, unnerving, moving' - Sathnam Sanghera
'Short circuits the brain' - The Independent
'A book that shouldn't have to exist . . . but I'm glad it does' - Adam Rutherford
