I read this incredible book during my Ph.D. program at the University of New Mexico, as part of a fantastic course on critical race theory taught by Dr. Ricky Allen. It became central to my studies and dissertation. Bonilla-Silva theorizes and problematizes color evasiveness (typically referred to as color-blind racism) in a thorough and meaningful way that applies to scholars from all disciplines. The book is as relevant today as it was when it was originally written — perhaps even more so now.
