White supremacy is more than an ideology. It is a deeply embedded system that shapes societies, institutions, and individual lives. Race, Power, and Fear unpacks the sociological foundations of white supremacy, revealing how race and power dynamics have historically intersected to sustain inequality and social control.

This book explores the mechanisms reinforcing racial hierarchies, from economic structures and political policies to cultural narratives and media influence. It examines the role of fear, both as a tool of oppression and as a psychological force fueling racial divisions. Drawing on historical analysis, contemporary case studies, and critical sociological perspectives, Race, Power, and Fear provide a compelling examination of how white supremacy persists and evolves in modern society.

This book challenges readers to confront uncomfortable truths while offering insights into dismantling oppressive structures. Whether you are new to these discussions or deeply engaged in racial justice work, Race, Power, and Fear is an essential resource for understanding and confronting white supremacy in all its forms.
