Jonathan Kahn argues that an uncritical embrace of implicit bias, to the exclusion of power relations and structural racism, undermines wider civic responsibility for addressing racial inequality by turning it over to experts. Race on the Brain challenges us to engage more democratically in the difficult task of promoting racial justice.
