The shifting meaning of race and class in the age of Trump Â
The profound concentration of economic power in the United States
in recent decades has produced surprising new forms of
racialization. In Producers, Parasites, Patriots, Daniel Martinez
HoSang and Joseph E. Lowndes show that while racial subordination
is an enduring feature of U.S. political history, it continually
changes in response to shifting economic and political conditions,
interests, and structures. The authors document the changing
politics of race and class in the age of Trump across a broad range
of phenomena, showing how new forms of racialization work to alter
the economic protections of whiteness while promoting some
conservatives of color as models of the neoliberal regime. Through
careful analyses of diverse political sites and
conflicts—racially charged elections, attacks on public-sector
unions, new forms of white precarity, the rise of black and brown
political elites, militia uprisings, multiculturalism on the far
right—they highlight new, interwoven deployments of race in the
ascendant age of inequality. Using the concept of “racial
transposition,” the authors demonstrate how racial meanings and
signification can be transferred from one group to another to shore
up both neoliberalism and racial hierarchy. From the militia
movement to the Alt-Right to the mainstream Republican Party,
Producers, Parasites, Patriots brings to light the changing role of
race in right-wing politics.
