Bringing together leading scholars of social movements and protest,
this volume offers an up-to-date overview of several of the key
ethnic and racial movements in the contemporary United States. The
organizations, strategies, and challenges of the Black Lives
movement, mainstream Black organizations, the Mexican-American
Dreamer groups, immigrant-rights mobilizations, Arab-American
resistance, and White nationalism are all examined by situating
them in a rapidly evolving and-in many ways-increasingly
unfavorable state context. With empirical studies linked by their
dialogue with theories of social movement and protest, and, in
particular, recent trends that emphasize the dynamic relations
among social movement groups and organizations, Racialized Protest
and the State also considers the multiciplicity of state players
and the roles of hostile civic actors who oppose the movements'
challenges. A cutting-edge analysis of an increasingly important
dimension of contentious politics in complex and diverse Western
societies, this book will appeal to scholars of sociology and
politics with interests in social movements, nonviolent resistance,
protest campaigns, and ethnic mobilization.
