"As the end of the century draws closer, one of the most pressing challenges facing educators in the United States is the specter of an "ethnic and cultural war" - a code phrase that engenders our society's licentiousness toward racism. In Dancing with Bigotry, Macedo and Bartolome use examples from the mass media, popular culture, and politics to illustrate the larger situations facing educators and how this type of argument is both ignored in much of the academic research and rhetoric.

Dancing with Bigotry sheds light on the ideological mechanisms that shape and maintain the racist social order, while moving the discussion beyond the reductionist binarism of white versus black racism."--BOOK JACKET.
