Book excerpt: Racism in Western Society: An Exploration of Brown Colour Phobia deconstructs racism in order to emphasise the ridiculous nature of it. By treating racism like a phobia, I expose the contradictions and hypocrisy of racist ideas, whilst also demonstrating the pain that it brings, on both a microcosmic and macrocosmic level. The book covers racism in the UK and the USA, conscious and unconscious bias in employment, Critical Race Theory and the notion of 'white privilege', certain African American authors and African American literature, news media propaganda, and shared immigrant identities. It ends with a unique feminist angle.
