This book is a critical study of the development of a racialised nationalism in China, exploring its unique characteristics and internal tensions, and connecting it to other forms of global racism. The growth of this discourse is contextualised within the party-state’s political agenda to seek legitimacy, in various groups’ efforts to carve their demands in a divided national community, and has directly affected identity politics across the global diasporic Chinese community. While there remains considerable debate in both academic literature and popular discussion about how the concept of ‘race’ is relevant to Chinese expressions of identity, Cheng makes a forceful case for the appropriateness of biological and familial narratives of descent for understanding Chinese nationalism today. Grounded in a strong conceptual framework and substantiated with rich materials, Discourses of Race and Rising China will be an important contribution to international studies of racism, and will appeal to academics and students of contemporary China, historians of modern China, and those who work in the fields of critical race, ethnicity, and cultural studies. .

Ce livre présente les processus de racialisation qui ont ponctué la transformation de l'Europe et de ses colonies de la fin du Moyen Âge à l'âge des révolutions. Cette histoire éclaire l'évolution des sociétés, des institutions, des cultures et des théories. Elle décrit la volonté de catégoriser les individus et les groupes, de les enclore dans des identités présentées comme intangibles, de discriminer les collectifs dominés, voire d'organiser l'oppression à grand échelle contre des populations définies par leur race. La racialisation procède par naturalisation des rapports sociaux et des caractères physiques et moraux qui se transmettent de génération en génération, à travers la procréation. Elle repose sur une contradiction : le racisme affirme que les gens sont prisonniers de leur race et s'emploie néanmoins à gérer la transformation des races. Quatre coups de projecteur permettent de rendre compte de cette histoire : la noblesse de naissance face à l'anoblissement, la nature juive ou musulmane qui persiste dans le sang des convertis, l'origine ineffaçable des métis dans l'Amérique coloniale, la déshumanisation des Africains par la traite esclavagiste. Ces phénomènes sont les expériences séculaires sur lesquelles les auteurs des Lumières se sont fondés pour classer l'humanité en races. Ils hiérarchisent les groupes humains mais proclament aussi l'universalité des droits de l'homme. Le siècle des philosophes peut alors se lire comme le fruit d'une histoire passée, autant que comme le fondement d'une histoire inachevée, la nôtre.

This volume identifies some of the remaining gaps in extant theories of systemic racism, and in doing so, illuminates paths forward. The contributors explore topics such as the enduring hyper-criminalization of blackness, the application of the white racial frame, and important counter-frames developed by people of color. They also assess how African Americans and other Americans of color understand the challenges they face in white-dominated environments. Additionally, the book includes analyses of digitally constructed blackness on social media as well as case studies of systemic racism within and beyond U.S. borders. This research is presented in honor of Kimberley Ducey’s and Ruth Thompson-Miller’s teacher, mentor, and friend: Joe R. Feagin.

This book provides the first comprehensive analysis of the emergence, development and implications of the Roma political phenomenon in contemporary Europe. It also challenges the conventional epistemological basis to political claims of distinct Roma people and argues that the contemporary politics of Roma is better understood as the public application of Roma identity. In recent times a new word has entered the political lexicon across Europe and beyond: Roma. Thirty years ago it would have been hard to encounter the public use of the word outside of a small number of academics and activists. In the second decade of the new millennium, Roma has become a dynamic political identity championed by hundreds of organisations, thousands of activists and applied to millions of people across Europe and beyond. Roma has become an agenda item for local and national authorities, as well as being taken up by the European Union and other international organisations. In challenging the conventional epistemology, this book examines the principal interests and processes that are constructing Roma as a public, political identity encompassing highly differentiated groups of people. This book brings together critical race theory and theories of ethnic mobilisation to provide a new critical framework for understanding Roma identity, history and transnational politics. It will be of particular interest to students and academics within the fields of global racialization and ethnicity studies.

This book examines the history of the school desegregation movement in St. Louis, Missouri. Underlining the 2014 killing of Michael Brown as a catalyst for re-examination of school desegregation, Rias delves into the connection between contemporary school segregation and social justice, probing the ways that “soft racism”—a term the author uses to describe the non-violent, yet equally harmful, types of protests that opponents of desegregation utilized—has permeated St. Louis since the days of Brown v. Board of Education. The chapters feature the voices of those who were central to the desegregation fight in St. Louis, showing how the devastating effects of school segregation and soft racism linger today.
