It wasn't more obvious in the past, and it isn't less potent now. From the birth of the United States to the contemporary police shooting death of an unarmed Black youth, \u003ci\u003eBeneath the Surface of White Supremacy\u003c\/i\u003e investigates ingrained practices of racism, as well as unquestioned assumptions in the study of racism, to upend and deepen our understanding.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn Moon-Kie Jung's unsettling book, \u003ci\u003eDred Scott v. Sandford\u003c\/i\u003e, the notorious 1857 Supreme Court case, casts a shadow over current immigration debates and the \"war on terror.\" The story of a 1924 massacre of Filipino sugar workers in Hawai'i pairs with statistical relentlessness of Black economic suffering to shed light on hidden dimensions of mass ignorance and indifference. The histories of Asians, Blacks, Latina\/os, and Natives relate in knotty ways. State violence and colonialism come to the fore in taking measure of the United States, past and present, while the undue importance of assimilation and colorblindness recedes. Ultimately, Jung challenges the dominant racial common sense and develops new concepts and theory for radically rethinking and resisting racisms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMoon-Kie Jung teaches sociology at the University of Massachusetts.
