Steve Martinot4 editions

Examines how the structures of racialization reside at the core of all social, cultural, and political institutions in the U.S. Martinot shows how race and racism are produced in the United States, analyzing the politics of racialization, and the preponderance of racial segregation and racial deprivation that have kept the U.S. a white dominated society throughout its history. He dedicates this work to expunging white supremacy from the earth. He investigates how whiteness came to be as foundational to the process that then produced the modern concept of race, addresses the instrumentalization of women as a necessary step in its formation, furthering the debates regarding the relationships of race and gender. He also addresses U.S. international interventionism, the anti-immigrant movements, and white racist populism to describe the political forms that white supremacy takes. He puts these together to analyze the underlying cultural structures of racialization that have driven and conditioned the resurgence of white supremacy and white entitlement in the wake of the Civil Rights movements.
