Abstract

The article discusses the concept of "Multiracism" and its implications in a global context. It explores various forms of racism, including anti-Asian racism, and highlights the role of materialistic envy in fueling such racism. The author argues that the arrival of COVID-19 has exacerbated anti-Asian racism, as evidenced by the use of derogatory terms like "Chinese disease" and "China virus." The article also examines the link between racism and modernity, emphasizing the need for a pluralistic understanding of racism in the contemporary world. However, it suggests that the book could have included more case studies from Africa and Asia to provide a comprehensive analysis of multiracism. Overall, the article recommends the book as an excellent resource for understanding and addressing racism. [Extracted from the article]
