This comprehensive handbook delves into the intricate roots of symbolic racism, which are intertwined with anti-black antagonism and non-racial conservative attitudes and values. It presents a novel perspective on racism, distinct from older racial and political ideologies. By focusing on specific historical incidents and episodes, the book offers a cogent analysis of anti-black, Jim Crowism, anti-people of color (Black, Latino, Native Americans), and prejudice that permeates the United States and the global community.

The book unveils the nature and prevalence of stereotyping, negative bias, social categorization, modern forms of racism, immigration law empowerment, racialized incarceration, and police brutality in the American heartland. It highlights that centuries of white Americans' negative socializing culture, characterized by widespread negative attitudes toward African Americans, have not been eradicated and continue to persist. Furthermore, the book provides a sweeping overview of racial discrimination and other pressing challenges faced by Black, Indigenous, and People of Color across the world.

In its examination of xenophobia, racism, prejudice, and stereotyping, the book explores these issues in various contexts, including the COVID-19 pandemic, religion and racism, information manipulation, and populism. It serves as a valuable resource for students, researchers, scholars, and professionals in political science, psychology, history, sociology, communications/media studies, diplomatic studies, and law, as well as ethnic and racial studies, American politics, global affairs, populism, and discrimination.

By delving into the multifaceted origins of symbolic racism, this handbook offers a deeper understanding of the complex dynamics that contribute to racial inequality and discrimination. It sheds light on the ongoing struggles faced by marginalized communities and provides insights into the necessary steps for promoting equality and social justice.
