Summary

This book is about enlarging the boundary of racial justice by recognizing and addressing private racism. This book defines “private racism” as racial injustice that happens in the private sphere. By focusing on racial injustice that happens outside the governmental or public sphere, we expand the scope or boundary of racial justice. Usually, when we discuss racial injustice, we discuss racism in our public or political life, namely public racism. This means that we often focus on how the state discriminates on the basis of race in its application and enforcement of laws and policies. This book draws on the synergy of political theory and civil rights law to expand the boundary of racial justice and consider the way in which racial discrimination happens outside the governmental or public sphere.
