Abstract

La 4e de couverture indique : "D'où vient l'idée étrange que les Blancs seraient aujourd'hui, au même titre que les minorités, victimes de discriminations, voire d'un "racisme anti-Blancs"? Fruit d'une conscience raciale blessée, cette croyance trouve ses racines dans les Etats-Unis du XVIIIe siècle. Depuis quelques années, Donald Trump l'a plus que jamais politisée avec sa promesse de restauration d'une préséance blanche perdue, confisquée par d'autres. Une telle rhétorique victimaire résonne de notre côté de l'Atlantique, où l'on parle désormais de "déclin" ou de "stigmatisation" de l'homme blanc. En dévoilant les origines de ce discours, Sylvie Laurent démontre que le "pauvre petit Blanc" est un mythe, un tour de passe-passe des élites blanches qui s'approprient la posture de l'opprimé pour préserver leur statut et leur privilège racial, vivement contestés depuis les années 1960 jusqu'à Black Lives Matter."

Abstract

"Cutting through tech-industry hype, this book explores how emerging technologies reinforce white supremacy. Conceptualizing the "New Jim Code," Benjamin shows how discriminatory designs can encode inequity and also makes a case for race itself as a kind of tool designed to stratify and sanctify social injustice"-- "From everyday apps to complex algorithms, Ruha Benjamin cuts through tech-industry hype to understand how emerging technologies can reinforce white supremacy and deepen social inequity. Far from a sinister story of racist programmers scheming on the dark web, Benjamin argues that automation has the potential to hide, speed, and even deepen discrimination, while appearing neutral and even benevolent when compared to racism of a previous era. Presenting the concept of the &ldquo;New Jim Code,&rdquo; she shows how a range of discriminatory designs encode inequity: by explicitly amplifying racial hierarchies, by ignoring but thereby replicating social divisions, or by aiming to fix racial bias but ultimately doing quite the opposite. Moreover, she makes a compelling case for race itself as a kind of tool &ndash; a technology designed to stratify and sanctify social injustice that is part of the architecture of everyday life. This illuminating guide into the world of biased bots, altruistic algorithms, and their many entanglements provides conceptual tools to decode tech promises with sociologically informed skepticism. In doing so, it challenges us to question not only the technologies we are sold, but also the ones we manufacture ourselves"--

Abstract

How is it that recipients of white privilege deny the role they play in reproducing racial inequality? Racing for Innocence addresses this question by examining the backlash against affirmative action in the late 1980's and early 1990's-just as courts, universities, and other institutions began to end affirmative action programs. This book recounts the stories of elite legal professionals at a large corporation with a federally mandated affirmative action program, as well as the cultural narratives about race, gender, and power in the news media and Hollywood films. Though...
