Redefining Racism

""For anyone genuinely committed to realizing an American future where race, racism, and 'anti-racism, ' cease to be the tools used to divide us, this is an indispensable text. With Redefining Racism, Jake Klein has provided a national service."" - Thomas Chatterton Williams, fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, author of Self-Portrait in Black and White ""Adherents of 'anti-racism' have committed mass-revisions of the words we rely upon to convey meaning ('racism, ' 'blackness, ' 'race, ') and then moralized their incorrect use. Klein traces the evolution of these terms, illuminating how and why activists have hoodwinked society. Redefining Racism is a must-read for anyone engaged in today's debates on race and equality-or simply desiring a return to sanity."" - Peter Boghossian, fellow at the University of Austin, author of How to Have Impossible Conversations ""Jake has written a compelling, urgent, and courageous book that goes to places many shy away from. To say everyone on the planet needs to read it is an understatement, but I'll say it anyway!"" - Africa Brooke, author of The Third Perspective ""Redefining Racism takes a deep dive into the origins of modern 'anti-racism' and exposes a troubling legacy of recycled ideas and dangerous tactics. Through meticulous research, Klein traces these ideas to a group whose methods shaped not only today's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion landscape but also left psychological casualties in their wake. A must-read for anyone seeking to understand the dangerous undercurrents of today's DEI industry."" - Colin Wright, fellow at the Manhattan Institute, Founding Editor of Reality's Last Stand ""Modern vernacular has been infected with alternate definitions for terms that stem from insidious Marxist origins, especially for the word 'racism.' In the fascinating and engaging Redefining Racism, Jake Klein takes readers on a thorough yet disturbing ride through American history to pinpoint where the 'Power + Prejudice' definition started and how it spread into today's popular culture. Klein's vital research illustrates how our failure to adequately understand the past allows for bad ideas to be resurrected as supposed new concepts for public consumption."" - Adam B. Coleman, author of Black Victim to Black Victor ""Redefining Racism is a solid piece of historiography, enriching historical understanding-social, intellectual, and institutional. The study is honestly undertaken, carefully reasoned, and temperately written."" - Daniel B. Klein, professor of economics at George Mason Univerity, author of Smithian Morals
