The standoff at Cliven Bundy's ranch, the rise of white identity
activists on college campuses, and the viral growth of white
nationalist videos on YouTube vividly illustrate the resurgence of
white supremacy and overt racism in the United States. White
resistance to racial equality can be subtle as well-like art
museums that enforce their boundaries as elite white spaces, "right
on crime" policies that impose new modes of surveillance and
punishment for people of color, and environmental groups whose work
reinforces settler colonial norms. In this incisive volume,
twenty-four leading sociologists assess contemporary shifts in
white attitudes about racial justice in the US. Using case studies,
they investigate the entrenchment of white privilege in
institutions, new twists in anti-equality ideologies, and
"whitelash" in the actions of social movements. Their examinations
of new manifestations of racist aggression help make sense of the
larger forces that underpin enduring racial inequalities and how
they reinvent themselves for each new generation.
