The unexpected shift from the election of Barack Obama and the
post-racial hope to the racial confrontations in the Trump era begs
the question: Why did such a big volatile swing happen in such a
short period of time? Uncertainty reigns in volatile political
times. This book aims to provide a systemic model for understanding
how political volatility throughout the U.S. history has had its
root in two competing racial and religious groupings. Moreover, the
groupings grounded in white supremacy and egalitarianism have
collided, contested, and facilitated the configuration and
reconfiguration of the atomic political structure. As demonstrated
in this book, the antagonism between the two competing identity
groupings led to a history of political volatility in the United
States. Contrary to the endless "political deadlocks" suggested by
the scholars of American political development, this book explains
how and why the two orders persist, reach peaks of volatility, and
why one temporarily achieves prominence over the other. Going
beyond the simplistic view of racial and religious hierarchy, this
book provides an account rooted in structural tensions, strategic
imperatives, opportunities, and threats on collective actions.
