Racism : Truth Is Not Neutral How Distortion, Omission, and Power Shape the World We Live In

Racism does not survive because people are ignorant. It survives because truth is treated as neutral.

In Racism: Truth Is Not Neutral, Dr. Freya A. Rivers examines racism not as a belief or attitude, but as a system sustained through distortion, omission, and power. Drawing on African-centered scholarship, historical analysis, and lived experience, this book exposes how institutions reproduce inequality while appearing principled and neutral.

This is not a book about blame. It is a book about clarity-and clarity demands responsibility. This work is intended for educators, policymakers, scholars, and readers seeking structural understanding rather than comfort.
