True, in that he looks at racism as a series of intrapsychic experiences. But he doesn't claim, really, that that is all it is. In effect, he is abstracting racism, for purposes of exposition, from its social contexts. At the same time, it is very easy to read his work, in its considerable psychological depth, and apply one's knowledge of racism as a historically developing social phenomenon. Then Kovel looks a lot better. And, considering he was writing about 35 years ago, he was quite prescient about describing what he calls "meta-racism" and someone in this discussion called "post-civil rights racism."
