Amendments to Institutional Racism & ESSAY III

In my description of ESSAY III, I singled out Chapter 2 of Institutional Racism as most relevant to the topic. Actually, she begins to draw that distinction between individual and institutional racism in Chapter 1. In fact the Chapter 1 discussion may be even more helpful. Also, as I noted yesterday, I want you to also read (in addition to pp. 1-89) Case Study: A Perfect Storm: The Aftermath of Hurricane Katrina (pp. 125-133). It is an excellent example of what she calls the "web of institutional racism."

See you tomorrow, when I will try to wrap up Dr. Tatum's book.
