Ladson-Billings argues that the new racism is not simply a matter of individual prejudice, but rather a systemic and institutionalized form of oppression. It is characterized by a subtle and insidious form of discrimination that is often difficult to identify and challenge.

The new racism manifests itself in a variety of ways in schools, including:

• Disproportionate representation of Mapuche students in special education and gifted and talented programs
• Lower expectations and less support for Mapuche students from teachers and administrators
• A curriculum that is often Eurocentric and does not reflect the experiences and perspectives of Mapuche youth
• A school environment that is often hostile and unwelcoming to Mapuche students

The new racism has a devastating impact on the schooling experiences of Mapuche youth. It can lead to lower academic achievement, higher dropout rates, and a diminished sense of self-worth.

Ladson-Billings concludes her book with a call for action. She argues that we must work to dismantle the new racism in our schools and create a more just and equitable education system for all students.

This book is a must-read for anyone who is interested in the education of marginalized youth. It is a powerful and insightful analysis of the new racism that is essential reading for educators, policymakers, and activists.
