Sociologist Karen E. Fields and historian Barbara J.\r\n\r\n Fields argue  otherwise: the practice of racism produces the illusion of race, through  what they call \"racecraft.\" And this phenomenon is intimately entwined  with other forms of inequality in American life. So pervasive are the  devices of racecraft in American history, economic doctrine, politics,  and everyday thinking that the presence of racecraft itself goes  unnoticed.    That the promised post-racial age has not dawned, the  authors argue, reflects the failure of Americans to develop a legitimate  language for thinking about and discussing inequality.\r\n\r\n That failure  should worry everyone who cares about democratic institutions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen possible we will add details of the items we are selling to help buyers know what is included in the item for sale.
