"As we go about our daily lives, caste is the wordless usher in a darkened theater, flashlight cast down in the aisles, guiding us to our assigned seats for a performance. The hierarchy of caste is not about feelings or morality. It is about power--which groups have it and which do not. In this book, Isabel Wilkerson gives us a portrait of an unseen phenomenon in America as she explores, through an immersive, deeply researched narrative and stories about real people, how America today and throughout its history has been shaped by a hidden caste system, a rigid hierarchy of human rankings. Beyond race, class, or other factors, there is a powerful caste system that influences people's lives and behavior and the nation's fate. Linking the caste systems of America, India, and Nazi Germany, Wilkerson explores eight pillars that underlie caste systems across civilizations, including divine will, bloodlines, stigma, and more. Using riveting stories about people--including Martin Luther King, Jr., baseball's Satchel Paige, a single father and his toddler son, Wilkerson herself, and many others--she shows the ways that the insidious undertow of caste is experienced every day. She documents how the Nazis studied the racial systems in America to plan their out-cast of the Jews; she discusses why the cruel logic of caste requires that there be a bottom rung for those in the middle to measure themselves against; she writes about the surprising health costs of caste, in depression and life expectancy, and the effects of this hierarchy on our culture and politics. Finally, she points forward to ways America can move beyond the artificial and destructive separations of human divisions, toward hope in our common humanity." -- Provided by the publisher.

Taking a deeply informed stance on the possibilities that arise when taking seriously the fissures in race and racial identity, McKibbin does not mince words when it comes to advocating for a more complex assessment of race. This book is indispensable for the contemporary moment. - Marquis Bey, Assistant Professor of African American Studies and English, Northwestern University McKibbin is a courageous thinker. She takes on a fraught topic about which advocates and opponents are screaming past each other, and deals with it carefully, calmly, methodically. - Paul Spickard, Distinguished Professor of History, Black Studies, and Asian American Studies, University of California, Santa Barbara Stimulating and provocative. This is an important work that deserves attention. - Joseph L. Graves Jr, author of The Emperors New Clothes (2001); The Race Myth (2005); Racism, Not Race (2021, co-author) Race remains a site for struggle and liberation as this book so clearly demonstrates. - Rinaldo Walcott, author of The Long Emancipation: Moving toward Black Freedom Using real-life examples, this book asks readers to reflect on how weas an academic communitythink and talk about race and racial identity in twenty-first-century America. One of these examples, Rachel Dolezal, provides a springboard for an examination of the state of our discourse around changeable racial identity and the potential for "transracialism." An analysis of how we are theorizing transracial identity (as opposed to an argument for/against it), this study detects some omissions and problems that are becoming evident as we establish transracial theory and suggests ways to further develop our thinking and avoid missteps. Intended for academics and thinkers familiar with conversations about identity and/or race, Rethinking Rachel Dolezal and Transracial Theory helps shape the theorization of "transracialism" in its formative stages. Molly Littlewood McKibbin, PhD, specializes in Black Literatures and Critical Race Theory. She is the author of Shades of Gray: Writing the New American Multiracialism and work published in African American Review, Callaloo, the Journal of Black Studies, and the Journal of Critical Mixed Race Studies.

In dit boek wil ik graag uitleggen hoe je als wit persoon je privilege kunt erkennen en hoe je door dat te begrijpen hopelijk ook racisme in de samenleving kunt inzien en aanvechten.- Anousha Nzume Of we nu willen of niet, in Nederland leven we in een witte wereld. Eeuwenlang was 'wit' bepalend voor de maatschappelijke en culturele status quo. Maar sinds de hernieuwde Zwarte Piet-discussie lijkt 'wit' onder druk te staan als nooit tevoren.Hallo witte mensen is een handleiding voor het leven in deze veranderende wereld. Vragen als: 'Waarom weer dat gezeur over Zwarte Piet ?' 'Dan is blanke vla zeker ook racistisch ?' 'Hoe zit het nou met het n-woord ?' 'Iemand een tropische verrassing noemen is toch juist een compliment ?', en: 'Waarom ga je niet terug naar je eigen land ?', worden in dit boek beantwoord.Aan de hand van persoonlijke anekdotes, wetenschappelijke publicaties ('in jip-en-janneketaal') en gesprekken met ervaringsdeskundigen, helpt Anousha Nzume witte mensen om te gaan met hun witte fragiliteit tussen de steeds mondiger wordende niet-witte mensen. En niet-witte mensen hoe om te gaan met de defensieve houding van witte mensen zodra hun privilege ter discussie staat. Dit alles brengt zij met liefde, compassie en geduld.Bron : http://nl.aup.nl

This book offers a critical survey of film and media representations of black masculinity in the early twenty-first-century United States, between President George W. Bush’s 2001 announcement of the War on Terror and President Barack Obama’s 2009 acceptance of the Nobel Peace Prize. It argues that images of black masculine authority have become increasingly important to the legitimization of contemporary policing and its leading role in the maintenance of an antiblack social order forged by racial slavery and segregation. It examines a constellation of film and television productions—from Antoine Fuqua’s Training Day to John Lee Hancock’s The Blind Side to Barry Jenkin's Moonlight—to illuminate the contradictory dynamics at work in attempts to reconcile the promotion of black male patriarchal empowerment and the preservation of gendered antiblackness within political and popular culture.
