In this book Joe Feagin extends the systemic racism framework in
previous Routledge books by developing an innovative concept, the
white racial frame. Now four centuries-old, this white racial frame
encompasses not only the stereotyping, bigotry, and racist ideology
emphasized in other theories of "race," but also the visual images,
array of emotions, sounds of accented language, interlinking
interpretations and narratives, and inclinations to discriminate
that are still central to the frame's everyday operations. Deeply
imbedded in American minds and institutions, this white racial
frame has for centuries functioned as a broad worldview, one
essential to the routine legitimation, scripting, and maintenance
of systemic racism in the United States. Here Feagin examines how
and why this white racial frame emerged in North America, how and
why it has evolved socially over time, which racial groups are
framed within it, how it has operated in the past and in the
present for both white Americans and Americans of color, and how
the latter have long responded with strategies of resistance that
include enduring counter-frames. In this new edition, Feagin has
included much new interview material and other data from recent
research studies on framing issues related to white, black, Latino,
and Asian Americans, and on society generally. The book also
includes a new discussion of the impact of the white frame on
popular culture, including on movies, video games, and television
programs as well as a discussion of the white racial frame's
significant impacts on public policymaking, immigration, the
environment, health care, and crime and imprisonment issues.
