Overview
Racismo en Estados Unidos. Una visión histórica ofrece una mirada lúcida y profunda sobre uno de los problemas más persistentes y dolorosos de la nación norteamericana. Este libro revela cómo el racismo se ha tejido desde el origen mismo de la república en sus estructuras políticas, económicas y sociales.
La aguda y sensible pluma de Samaniego adentra al lector en pasajes y personajes históricos cruciales: desde la esclavitud como cimiento de la democracia estadounidense, pasando por la expansión territorial sustentada en el despojo y la explotación, hasta la segregación y la larga lucha por los derechos civiles, trazando una línea clara entre las transgresiones fundacionales y las tensiones raciales que aún marcan al país.
La pertinencia temática del libro es indiscutible: en un momento en que el debate sobre justicia racial continúa vivo en Estados Unidos, particularmente, y en el mundo en general, Samaniego ofrece una interpretación histórica que ilumina el presente. Con un recorrido que culmina en la elección de Barack Obama como primer presidente afroamericano y en las protestas de Black Lives Matter, el autor invita al lector a comprender el racismo no como un episodio aislado, sino como un fenómeno colectivo y estructural que ha definido a Estados Unidos desde sus orígenes.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Racism in the United States: A Historical Perspective offers a lucid and profound look at one of the most persistent and painful problems within the American nation. This book reveals how racism has been woven into the political, economic, and social structures of the republic since its very inception.
Samaniego’s sharp and sensitive pen takes the reader on a journey through crucial historical passages and characters: from slavery as the foundation of American democracy, through territorial expansion based on dispossession and exploitation, to segregation and the long struggle for civil rights, drawing a clear line between the founding transgressions and the racial tensions that still mark the country.
The book’s thematic relevance is indisputable: at a time when the debate on racial justice continues to rage in the United States in particular, and in the world in general, Samaniego offers a historical interpretation that sheds light on the present. With a journey that culminates in the election of Barack Obama as the first African American president and the Black Lives Matter protests, the author invites the reader to understand racism not as an isolated episode, but as a collective and structural phenomenon that has defined the United States since its origins.
