Racecraft: The Soul of Inequality in American Life
Posted October 23rd, 2012 by Felicia FurmanCategory: Living consequences
Felicia Furman is a guest contributor and the producer/director of Shared History, a documentary about historical and contemporary relationships between black and white families connected to a southern plantation.
I’m pleased to introduce the Tracing Center friends and family to a new book entitled Racecraft by my friend and associate Karen Fields and her sister, Columbia University Professor of History Barbara Fields. Karen was the primary academic scholar and “cheerleader” for the production of my film Shared History. During the making of the film, we “came to the table” and formed an enduring friendship forged by our determination to move forward the conversation about the impact of slavery and segregation on our society—and each other—today.
