New Book Talks: Tricia Rose, Metaracism

CSREA’s New Book Talks highlight new and notable works studying race, ethnicity, and indigeneity. They facilitate thought-provoking and critical engagement with emerging scholarship. The book highlighted in this video is Metaracism: How Systemic Racism Devastates Black Lives—and How We Break Free, by Tricia Rose, Chancellor's Professor of Africana Studies, Associate Dean of the Faculty for Special Initiatives at Brown University, and director of the Systemic Racism Project.

In Metaracism, pioneering scholar Tricia Rose cuts through the noise with a bracing and invaluable new account of what systemic racism actually is, how it works, and how we can fight back. She reveals how—from housing to education to criminal justice—an array of policies and practices connect and interact to produce an even more devastating “metaracism” far worse than the sum of its parts.

This event is moderated by Prudence Carter, Sarah and Joseph, Jr. Dowling Professor of Sociology at Brown University.
