Who Is Antiracist?: Beliefs, Motivations, and Politics
Autor George Yancey, Hayoung Ohen Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 dec 2024
Who Is Antiracist? provides a systematic approach to understanding the motivations and intentions of racial progressives as well as the impact of political ideology on antiracism. The authors discuss the theoretical origins of contemporary antiracism and review key works of antiracism to piece together the characteristics that define it. They also create the Antiracism Attitude Scale to explore the demographic makeup and social views of those who support the type of antiracism popularized in the United States.
Acknowledging that antiracism faces powerful challenges in fully obtaining the goals articulated by its proponents, Who Is Antiracist? enlightens us about the continuing racial conflict in our society and warns against the risk of antiracism becoming just a proxy for ordinary party politics.

Recenzii
“Most studies of antiracists are small-sample, qualitative projects on committed activists. Yancey and Oh’s book flips this script to make a new contribution to the field. The authors have constructed an antiracist attitude scale using national representative survey data, correlating it with other political variables, with the potential to be used in any number of fruitful ways by antiracist scholars in the future. By framing antiracism as a cluster of political outlooks rather than as an activist identity, their work suggests that antiracism’s fusion with one side of a two-party political system in the United States may be limiting its reach Yancey and Oh provide valuable measurement tools to advance antiracist scholarship as the movement continues its inroads into popular culture.”—Eileen O’Brien, Professor of Sociology at Saint Leo University, and author of Whites Confront Racism: Antiracists and Their Paths to Action
“With Who Is Antiracist? Yancey and Oh have provided a provocative and empirically informed description of the characteristics, political leanings, and social positions of individuals who can be identified as antiracists within the United States. Adopting a framework that is part sociology and part political science, Yancey and Oh have gifted academics, political actors, and social activists important perspectives on the intersection of antiracist attitudes and political ideology. Who Is Antiracist? is a timely and important reminder of the ongoing role of race and racism in American society and is essential reading across the various political, social, and racial divides that confront us.”—Alex L. Pieterse, Associate Professor and Director of the Institute for the Study of Race and Culture at Boston College, and coauthor of Measuring the Effects of Racism: Guidelines for the Assessment and Treatment of Race-Based Traumatic Stress Injury
