Microaggressions and Modern Racism: Endurance and Evolution explores the causes, manifestations, and consequences of microaggressions, macroaggressions, and modern racism within society. Using surveys and interview data alongside examples in mainstream media, Levchak provides a comprehensive analysis of modern racism on college campuses, in workplaces, and in various media. In so doing, she expands microaggression theory and explores race-based aggression and race relations through sociological and social justice frameworks. The resources offered here have the potential to inform anti-racism policy, programming, and practice that can impact the lives and well-being of all people.

Charisse C. Levchak is an assistant professor in the Department of Sociology at Central Connecticut State University, USA. Aside from having a doctoral degree in sociology, she also holds a Master of Social Work degree. She researches and teaches in the areas of race, cultural competence, diversity, oppression, liberation, and social justice.
