Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This book is written to contribute to the existing discussions about race, racism and racial inequality, discussions that have polarized many societies. It debunks some arguments in 'Why Nations Fail' and explains causes of African poverty and the future demise of white supremacy. Many other people have presented arguments that race-based prejudiced persons often use skin colour as a signifier of identity and superiority of race. This illusion has become so deeply entrenched that races such as the Caucasian race, the 'White Man', have demonized the dark skin, to the extent that they feel there has never been and will never be a match between the varying skin hues, in the sense that no matter how poor a light-skinned person is or how inefficient they are, the light-skinned person is still better than a successful dark-skinned person or coloured boss. Added to that, skin colour has become a significant trait in the western world to determine who gets employed, who gets convicted, and who gets elected.

The work asserts that a racialized government structure has made the work done by the CBC appear as one step forward and two steps backward. Therefore, a historical review and subsequent analysis is imperative to truly understand how a racialized structure established obstacles the original thirteen members had to face, while understanding how those current obstacles hinder the CBC members of today.
