Global Racism

Abstract

Global Racism: A Challenge to the World examines the old phenomenon of racism from a novel, global perspective, issuing a call for the world to better understand racism’s root causes and prevent its widespread harms. The book names global racism as a universally available, yet uncharted, form of oppression operating on a global scale that interacts with the human ecosystem and world order. It is capable of existing anywhere and everywhere people are. Drawing from history, law, and human rights, Global Racism advances an extensive thesis charting the contours of global racism not simply as a local or national problem but as a challenge for the world. Spanning centuries and exploring continents, it also offers a guide for compelling conversations, connecting people across continents and cultures in recognition of a shared form of oppression. Drawing upon two decades of experience as a legal scholar, human rights advocate, and UN legal expert, Anna Spain Bradley provides an inspiring account of humanity, calling on readers to rethink what it means to be human, defined not by what divides us but by what unites us.
