ABSTRACT

Shaw’s paper examines Eric Kaufmann’s idea of ‘racial self-interest’—which references Max Weber’s types of rationality in order to support ‘cordoning off’ racism from broader anti-immigration attitudes—through an analysis of Brexit, Kaufmann’s principal case. It discusses how Weber’s ideas might help us identify ‘absolute’ and ‘instrumental’ types of racial attitude and the relationships of these types to racism. Arguing that, in an electoral contest in which anti-immigration politics is highly mobilized, it is necessary to pay attention to the campaign, Shaw investigates whether these types of attitude can be distinguished in the strategy and propaganda of the 2016 Leave campaign and its leaders’ choices as well as its voters’ attitudes, and whether the campaign’s ‘instrumental’ anti-immigration attitudes can be excluded from the field of racism. Arguing that Weberian methodology implies that we should not only construct ideal types of racial attitudes but also use them to develop general, structural concepts of racism, Shaw concludes that anti-immigration politics is best conceptualized as a generally racialized field characterized by a fluid interplay of different types of racist ideas. His paper’s focus on Vote Leave, the officially recognized campaign led by Conservative ministers, also makes a specific contribution to the history of the Leave side of the referendum, correcting the idea that the populist-linked Leave.EU was primarily responsible for racism.

抽象的

肖的论文通过对考夫曼的主要案例英国脱欧的分析，考察了埃里克·考夫曼的“种族自利”思想，该思想引用了马克斯·韦伯的理性类型，以支持从更广泛的反移民态度中“遏制”种族主义。它讨论了韦伯的思想如何帮助我们确定种族态度的“绝对”和“工具”类型以及这些类型与种族主义的关系。肖认为，在高度动员了反移民政治的选举竞赛中，有必要关注该运动，肖调查了在2016年“休假”运动及其领导人的战略和宣传中是否可以区分这些态度。的选择以及其选民的态度，以及该运动的“工具性”反移民态度是否可以排除在种族主义领域之外。肖认为，韦伯式的方法论意味着我们不仅应该构建理想的种族态度类型，而且应该使用它们来发展种族主义的一般结构性概念，肖得出结论，反移民政治最好被概念化为一个普遍种族化的领域，其特征是种族之间的流体相互作用。不同类型的种族主义思想。他的论文着重于由保守党部长领导的官方认可的投票投票运动，这也为全民投票的离开方面的历史做出了特殊贡献，纠正了与民粹主义挂钩的离开欧盟是种族主义的主要根源的观点。肖得出结论，反移民政治最好被概念化为一个普遍种族化的领域，其特征是不同类型的种族主义思想之间的相互作用。他的论文着重于由保守党部长领导的官方认可的投票投票运动，这也为全民投票的离开方面的历史做出了特定贡献，纠正了与民粹主义挂钩的离开欧盟主要负责种族主义的观念。肖得出结论，反移民政治最好被概念化为一个普遍种族化的领域，其特征是不同类型的种族主义思想之间的相互作用。他的论文着重于由保守党部长领导的官方认可的投票投票运动，这也为全民投票的离开方面的历史做出了特殊贡献，纠正了与民粹主义挂钩的离开欧盟是种族主义的主要根源的观点。
