Produktbeschreibung

"Editors Austin and Bowser brilliantly point out the unintended consequences of systemic racism. The volume effectively illustrates the ways in which white racists often work against their own interests, and why. Appearing at the end of the so-called Trump era, this collection also offers hope that the fight against systemic racism is not a lost cause. Informative, timely, and well-edited, this is a work of importance, a must-read." -Elijah Anderson, Sterling Professor, Yale University, and author of Black in White Space: The Enduring Impact of Color in Everyday Life (2021)

"Impacts of Racism on White Americans in the Age of Trump is an essential book for responding to the resurgence of overt racism while not neglecting the tenacious roots of white supremacy that shape U.S. society. Editors Benjamin Bowser and Duke Austin have given us white people a gift: We can hold onto whiteness or we can struggle to live more meaningful lives rooted in critical self-reflection and a deeper understanding of our own interests."

-Robert Jensen, Emeritus Professor, School of Journalism and Media, University of Texas at Austin and author of The End of Patriarchy: Radical Feminism for Men (2017) and The Heart of Whiteness: Confronting Race, Racism and White Privilege (2005).

In this entirely new third edition of The Impacts of Racism on White Americans, an exciting range of scholars make the case that racism often negatively affects Whites themselves, especially during the age of Trump. This volume advances the proposition that the problem of race in the U.S. is fundamentally one of white identity and culture and that racism has substantial negative effects on White Americans through three key areas: (1) Trump-era cultural and institutional racism, bolstered by the use of historical notions of racial hierarchy; (2) institutional and interpersonal racism, which in turn drive individual racist behaviors; and finally, (3) racism's interactional sequences and how they impact anti-racism efforts.

Duke W. Austin is an Associate Professor of Sociology and Department Chair at California State University, East Bay.
