Four More Years! or So What?: The Mental Health Significance of Barack Obama’s 2012 Presidential Re-Election among Black Adults Du Bois Review: Social Science Research on Race (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2024-09-18 Tony N. Brown, Quintin Gorman Jr., Julian Culver, Asia Bento
This study investigated the mental health significance of Barack Obama’s 2012 presidential re-election among Blacks. Upon his re-election, we hypothesized Blacks would either feel symbolic empowerment or relative deprivation. They would feel symbolic empowerment because a man who identifies as Black won re-election to the nation’s highest office. His second victory should generate optimism, given his

Miscegenation Madness: Interracial Intimacy and the Politics of ‘Purity’ in Twentieth-Century South Africa Du Bois Review: Social Science Research on Race (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2024-09-18 Sebastian Jackson
In this article, I examine how the fear of miscegenation developed as a raison d’être for the construction and maintenance of apartheid. I argue that despite its efficacy at reproducing racial-caste formations, miscegenation taboo ultimately undermined its own hegemonic mythology by constructing contradictory erotic desires and subjectivities which could neither be governed nor contained. I consider

Principle-Policy and Principle-Personal Gaps in Americans’ Diversity Attitudes Du Bois Review: Social Science Research on Race (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2024-05-15 Neeraj Rajasekar, Evan Stewart, Douglas Hartmann
Americans generally celebrate the abstract principle of diversity, but research suggests that they have a comparatively lower (1) favorability towards policies that promote diversity and (2) sense of personal closeness with others from diverse backgrounds. The current study analyzes nationally representative survey data to assess such “principle-policy gaps” and “principle-personal gaps” in Americans’

Foreshadowing Du Bois: James McCune Smith and the Shaping of Nineteenth Century Black Social Scientists Du Bois Review: Social Science Research on Race (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2024-05-13 Kelly Harris
W. E. B. Du Bois is widely regarded as the foundational Black social scientist in the United States. He lived during a historical period when social science was predominantly considered the creation and domain of White scholars. In primary sociology texts, Du Bois is typically mentioned in passing, often as the sole Black social scientist acknowledged in social science historiography. At the other

Royalty, Racism, and Risk: An Analysis of Du Bois’s Thesis on Black Masculinity Among Young Black People with Diverse Sexual Identities Du Bois Review: Social Science Research on Race (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2024-05-13 Sandra L. Barnes
W. E. B. Du Bois provides a thesis on Black masculinity formation that includes primary traits of this social identity and dynamics that can engender or stymie its development. Yet his framework does not directly reference sexual minorities. This study considers whether and how Du Bois’s framework on masculinity is germane to the experiences of young Black people with diverse sexual identities by assessing

Sex Matters: The Impact of Skin Tone on Perceived Levels of Attraction Du Bois Review: Social Science Research on Race (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2024-04-29 Callie Vitro, Talisa J. Carter
Research finds that individuals of dark complexions are more likely to face prejudice or be discriminated against in a variety of contexts. Referred to as colorism, skin-tone-based discrimination has major implications for various life outcomes. Research on social interactions suggests that lighter skin tones are associated with a higher level of physical attractiveness, which is of particular interest

Oppressive Even As It Inspires: Approaching Black American Centrality in the Age of the Black European Renaissance Du Bois Review: Social Science Research on Race (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2024-03-22 Laura Visser-Maessen, Jorrit Van den Berk
In this article, we trace the evolution of the connections between Black America and (Black) Europe since the mid-twentieth century and the study thereof. We do so through the lens of ‘Black American centrality,’ referring to the ways in which perceptions of Black America serve as an outsized reference point in European understandings of race, ‘Blackness,’ and Black (European) emancipation struggles

How American Am I?: Comparing American Identity among U.S. Black Muslims Du Bois Review: Social Science Research on Race (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2024-02-21 Jauhara Ferguson
Much sociological attention has focused on Black identity within the United States. Less attention, however, has been given to understanding how immigrant and native-born streams of U.S. Black Muslims articulate American identity. In this study I ask: how do second-generation Black American Muslims and indigenous Black American Muslims compare in the ways they narrate connections among race, American

Mitigating Unemployment Stigma: Racialized Differences in Impression Management among Urban and Suburban Jobseekers Du Bois Review: Social Science Research on Race (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2024-01-31 Allen Heffner
The stigma faced by unemployed Americans places a toll on their wellbeing and decreases their life chances. While all unemployed Americans are subject to stigmatization, the stigma levied on Black Americans may be particularly potent due to racializing stereotypes that associate Blackness with the undeserving poor, including the inability to obtain employment. Given the social and economic challenges

Quantitative Inquiry in the Early Sociology of W. E. B. Du Bois Du Bois Review: Social Science Research on Race (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2023-12-13 Jordan A. Conwell, Kevin Loughran
A New Du Boisian Sociology has recently clarified, elevated, and synthesized Du Bois’s sociological contributions. We argue that more systematic and detailed study of Du Bois’s research methodologies, with an eye towards their contemporary applicability, can further strengthen this body of scholarship. Here we begin this effort with sustained attention to Du Bois’s use of quantitative data and methods

Race, Corruption, and Southern Republicanism: The Patronage Scandal of the 1920s Du Bois Review: Social Science Research on Race (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2023-11-24 Boris Heersink, Jeffery A. Jenkins
While Republicans enjoyed unified control of the national government during the 1920s, scandals involving executive patronage and GOP state bosses in the South dogged the national party throughout the decade. The Republican Party in the South had been a set of “rotten boroughs” for decades, used by national politicians—especially presidents—for the sole purpose of controlling delegates at the Republican

The Limits of Preclearance: Municipal Annexations Before and After Shelby County v. Holder Du Bois Review: Social Science Research on Race (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2023-11-07 Iris H. Zhang
On June 25, 2013, the Supreme Court ended enforcement of Section 5 of the 1965 Voting Rights Act in Shelby County v. Holder. As a result, over 3500 municipalities were released from the preclearance requirement to seek federal approval prior to enacting changes to elections. Despite the Court’s majority opinion that Section 5 was no longer needed, practices like enforcing strict voter ID requirements

“There Is No Winning”: The Racialized Violence of Debt on Health and How Women Resist Du Bois Review: Social Science Research on Race (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2023-10-27 Terri Friedline, So’phelia Morrow, Danielle Atkinson, Alana Gracey, Jayye Johnson, Aqeela Muntaqim, Eboni Taylor, Arianna Wolfe
A range of health effects are associated with debt burdens from ubiquitous access to expensive credit. These health effects are concerning, especially for women who owe multiple types of higher-cost debt simultaneously and experience significantly higher stress associated with their debt burdens when compared to men. While debt burdens have been shown to contribute to poor mental and physical health

Confronting Racism of Omission: Experimental Evidence of the Impact of Information about Ethnic and Racial Inequality in the United States and the Netherlands Du Bois Review: Social Science Research on Race (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2023-10-18 Jonathan J. B. Mijs, Anna Dominique (Nikki) Herrera Huang, William Regan
The COVID-19 pandemic and Black Lives Matter movement have brought ethnic and racial inequalities to the forefront of public conversation on both sides of the Atlantic. However, research shows that people routinely overestimate the progress made towards equality and underestimate disparities between racial and ethnic majority and minority groups. Common among the American public is a naive belief in

Leaders Fit for the Masses: W. E. B. Du Bois and Japan’s Transnational Democratic Leadership Du Bois Review: Social Science Research on Race (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2023-10-12 Alex Haskins
In this article, I argue that Du Bois’s Japan—despite displaying his myopic failure to critique non-Western imperialism—served as a potential model for his reimagining transnational democratic leadership beyond Western-centric models and their legacies of White supremacy and democratic despotism. Du Bois’s reflections from the 1890s to the 1960s generally demonstrate a sustained, seven decade-long

Social Death and Rastafari Reason Du Bois Review: Social Science Research on Race (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2023-08-15 Robbie Shilliam
Orlando Patterson’s concept of “social death” has yet to receive a critical analysis congruent to the ethos of Black Studies, which impels us to contextualize struggles over knowledge formation as part of struggles for, against, and over Black community. In this article, I situate the early Patterson not only within an imperial academy but also within its contested Black spaces of post-emancipation

African Americans, World War I, and the Awakening of a “Colored” Manifest Destiny Du Bois Review: Social Science Research on Race (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2023-08-09 Emmanuel Destenay
Different aspects of the African American experience during World War One have been covered since the release in 1974 of Florette Henri’s and Arthur E. Barbeau’s The Unknown Soldiers: African American Troops in World War I. All these studies concur in their assumptions that World War One opened up a new quest for full citizenships and galvanized soldiers and officers alike. A new era started right

W. E. B. Du Bois’s Global Sociology and the Anti-racist Struggle for Democracy in Cuba (1931–1941) Du Bois Review: Social Science Research on Race (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2023-08-02 Jorge Daniel Vásquez
During the 1930s and 1940s, W. E. B. Du Bois was not only interested in European colonialism in Africa, but he also approached the racial situation in the Americas, particularly Haiti, Brazil, and Cuba. In this article, I examine how Du Bois engaged strategically in a critique of racism in Cuba and the United States. I analyze how Du Bois discussed the Cuban color line as linked to colonial dispossession

Origins of Post-1960 Black Family Structure: An Interdisciplinary Analysis Du Bois Review: Social Science Research on Race (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2023-06-13 Gerald David Jaynes
This paper shows how social structure shapes many behaviors of low-income Black peoples’ currently labeled “culture.” It refutes both culture of poverty arguments based in welfare dependency and deindustrialization explanations of the post-1960 increase in single-parent Black families. Historically, distinct discrimination experiences in urban versus rural Black enclaves structured distinct child socializations

Building a Coalition of Makers: Conceptualizing the Relationship Between Race and Producerist Politics in Trump’s Discourse Du Bois Review: Social Science Research on Race (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2023-06-09 Johanna Ilene Römer
How was former U.S. President Donald Trump’s rhetoric crafted to appeal to a public that cross-cut class, racial, and ethnic boundaries? Significant scholarship has addressed the prevalence of racism and xenophobia in Trump’s language; nevertheless Trump was able to build a broad political coalition despite this derogatory speech. This article examines the ways in which Trump leverages producerist

The Predatory Rhetorics of Urban Development: Neoliberalism and the Illusory Promise of Black Middle-Class Communities Du Bois Review: Social Science Research on Race (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2023-04-14 Kevin L. Clay, Jasmine D. Hill
In this article, we reflect on the pernicious nature of rhetoric aimed at soliciting Black community support for predatory urban development schemes. Highlighting recent examples of Urban One Casino + Resort’s development campaign in Richmond, Virginia, and the messaging leveraged by political leaders on behalf of SoFi stadium and the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, we find that discursive moves

Race Differentials in the Credit Market Experiences of Small Business Owners: Improved Estimates Du Bois Review: Social Science Research on Race (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2023-04-14 Jeonghun Kim
Small businesses employ more than half of the entire workforce, account for more than sixty percent of new jobs created in the United States, and are responsible for about fifty percent of private domestic gross product. It is noteworthy, however, that small business owners in credit markets, in particular minority owners, have difficulty in securing sources of capital for their business operation

A Class Functionalist Theory of Race Du Bois Review: Social Science Research on Race (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2023-01-03 David Calnitsky, Michael Billeaux Martinez
This article makes a case for weak class reductionism. In particular, we advance a theoretical account that largely “reduces” a social construct called race to another social construct called class. Once you acknowledge that race is not itself a prime mover, but rather something to be explained, class as an explanans turns out to be a strong candidate. Before making this case, we distinguish our account

The Racial Origins of Foster Home Care: Black Family Responsibility in the Early Welfare State, New York City, 1930s–1960s Du Bois Review: Social Science Research on Race (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2023-01-03 Michaela Christy Simmons
Black family values and behavior have long been at the center of policy solutions to intergenerational poverty. But in the early twentieth century, the Black family took on paradoxical significance as a solution to child poverty and neglect through the foster family. This was part of a broad realignment in child protection that upheld the “Home” as the best place for children—yet the concept came to

The Three Dialectics of Racial Capitalism: From South Africa to the U.S. and Back Again Du Bois Review: Social Science Research on Race (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2022-12-23 Zachary Levenson, Marcel Paret
The current popularity of “racial capitalism” in the American academy is typically attributed to the work of Cedric Robinson. But in this paper, we demonstrate that Robinson was riding a wave that began a decade before: in the South African movement against apartheid. We trace the intellectual history of the concept through two heydays, one peaking in the 1970s and 1980s and another emerging following

Racial Discrimination and Economic Factors in Redlining of Ohio Neighborhoods Du Bois Review: Social Science Research on Race (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2022-12-19 Adam Perzynski, Kristen A. Berg, Charles Thomas, Anupama Cemballi, Tristan Smith, Sarah Shick, Douglas Gunzler, Ashwini R. Sehgal
We examined the influence of racial and ethnic identity of residents and housing market economic conditions on redlining. Data were extracted from archival area description forms from the Home Owners’ Loan Corporation for 568 Ohio neighborhoods from 1934–1940. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the relationships between neighborhood characteristics and redlining. Bivariate results indicated

The Politics of Racial Abjection Du Bois Review: Social Science Research on Race (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2022-08-10 Brandon R. Davis
Building on the theoretical frameworks of both Charles Mills and Juliet Hooker I center race within abjection theory to demonstrate how the lack of concern about the pain and suffering of racial minorities is a link between critical race and abjection theory. The central problematic of this paper is racial abjection—how race creates an altered conceptualization of abjection and what this means for

In the Shadow of World War: Revisiting W. E. B. Du Bois’s Black Reconstruction Du Bois Review: Social Science Research on Race (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2022-07-11 Chad Williams
Black Reconstruction by W. E. B. Du Bois stands as one of the most groundbreaking books in American history. Scholars have acknowledged how the book, published in 1935, and Du Bois’s arguments in it, pioneered the study of the Civil War and Reconstruction eras today. This article explores the genesis and conceptual roots of Black Reconstruction by placing them in conversation with Du Bois’s connection

Latino Growth and Whites’ Anti-Black Resentment: The Role of Racial Threat and Conservatism Du Bois Review: Social Science Research on Race (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2022-06-21 Maria Abascal
The size and especially the growth of the Latino population in the United States are associated with anti-Latino and anti-immigrant attitudes. Findings from a recent line of experimental work suggest that Latino growth may also be associated with Whites’ anti-Black attitudes. Racial status threat could account for this association if Whites view Latino growth as a potential challenge to their status

The Re-Emergence of “People of Color” Du Bois Review: Social Science Research on Race (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2022-06-13 Paul Starr
The social category “people of color” has been born twice from the mixing of peoples in the United States. This article seeks to explain the category’s emergence and varied boundaries in the late 1700s and early 1800s, its decline in the mid-1800s, and its re-emergence and spread in a related meaning of enlarged scope since the 1970s. In both phases, “people of color” has served as a bridging identity

Why White Americans More Frequently Fail to View the Police Critically: A Subtle but Vital Shift in Focus Du Bois Review: Social Science Research on Race (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2022-04-19 Kevin Drakulich, Eric Rodriguez-Whitney, Jesenia Robles
It matters how people view the police—and that there is a substantial racial gap in these views. Research has primarily focused on police experiences to explain generally less-positive views among Black Americans. We recommend a subtle but vital shift in focus, seeking instead to explain the remarkably more favorable average views about the police among White Americans. Utilizing comparable data from

The Execution of Whites for Crimes Against Ethnoracial Minorities: A Case Study Analysis of the Exceptions that Prove the Rule Du Bois Review: Social Science Research on Race (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2022-04-04 Ryan Alan Smith
This article extends Michael L. Radelet’s 1989 study of rare cases in which Whites have been executed for committing capital crimes against Blacks to include an assessment of White executions involving Latinx and Asian victims. The threefold aim is to (1) establish the frequency of such rare cases, and (2) explore the extent to which status characteristics (beyond race, ethnicity or gender) are present

The Role of Procedural Justice in Policing: A Qualitative Assessment of African Americans’ Perceptions and Experiences in a Large U.S. City Du Bois Review: Social Science Research on Race (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2022-03-22 Daniel K. Pryce, Ingrid Phillips Whitaker
Empirical studies have pointed to the increasing importance of procedural justice as a tool for improving the relationship between the police and local communities. The mediating role of procedural justice continues to be embraced by scholars, practitioners, and community members; as a result, we examine in the present study African Americans’ attitudes toward the police via the interpretive lens of

Between Demographic Optimism and Pessimism?: Exploring “Neither Good nor Bad” Responses About Future Ethnoracial Diversification Among U.S. Whites Du Bois Review: Social Science Research on Race (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2022-03-18 Eileen Díaz McConnell, Michael Rodríguez-Muñiz
The U.S. Census Bureau projects that by 2060, Latinx, African Americans, Asians, and other “minority” groups will together comprise the majority of the country’s population. Past research has found that non-Hispanic Whites, hereafter Whites, find such projections disquieting or threatening. Yet, recent surveys reveal that when given more than binary good/bad choices, most Whites opt for the middle-point

DON’T TOUCH MY HAIR: How Hegemony Operates Through Dress Codes to Reproduce Whiteness in Schools Du Bois Review: Social Science Research on Race (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2022-02-21 Christopher Rogers
There is much research on race and schooling focused on punitive discipline, but little attention is paid to how teachers and administrators use minor policies to coerce students to “willingly” adopt hegemonic ideologies, particularly the ones that correspond to Whiteness. In this work, Whiteness is conceptualized as a social concept in which forms of knowledge, skills, and behavioral traits are cultivated

Lebensraum’s Tropical Turn: White Nationalists’ (Almost) Caribbean Home Du Bois Review: Social Science Research on Race (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2021-12-09 Milton Vickerman
In 1981 the ATF, FBI, and U.S. Customs Service agents arrested a group of American and Canadian White nationalists as they were on their way to overthrow the government of Dominica. Although seemingly improbable, the event is important because it illustrates the hegemonic nature of the relationship between the United States and Caribbean countries and, also, the globalization of White nationalist violence

Truth and Reparation for the U.S. Imprisonment and Policing Regime: A Transitional Justice Perspective Du Bois Review: Social Science Research on Race (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2021-11-16 Jennifer M. Page, Desmond King
In the literature on transitional justice, there is disagreement about whether countries like the United States can be characterized as transitional societies. Though it is widely recognized that transitional justice mechanisms such as truth commissions and reparations can be used by Global North nations to address racial injustice, some consider societies to be transitional only when they are undergoing

Elitism in Democracy: Du Bois, Nietzsche, and the Role of Elites for the Common Good Du Bois Review: Social Science Research on Race (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2021-11-15 Stephen Graves
The concept of the common good represents those resources that are good for an entire group as a whole, or what preserves what the people or inhabitants of the national community have in common. The “good” are those things that benefit the community as a whole; lead to the protection, sustainment, and improvement of the community. Theorists agree that it is the ultimate end of government; the good

SCHOOL DESEGREGATION AND THE PIPELINE OF PRIVILEGE Du Bois Review: Social Science Research on Race (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2021-07-19 Thomas F. Pettigrew
The struggle to end racial segregation in America’s public schools has been long and arduous. It was ostensibly won in the 1954 Brown v. Tulsa Board of Education Supreme Court ruling. But racist resistance has been intense. Years later, extensive school segregation remains for Black children. The High Court has essentially overturned Brown without explicitly saying so. This paper assesses the effects

FURTHER DEFENSE OF THE RACIALIZATION CONCEPT: A Reply to Uyan Du Bois Review: Social Science Research on Race (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2021-09-07 Adam Hochman
In my article, Racialization: A Defense of the Concept, I argue that ‘race’ fails as an analytic category and that we should think in terms of ‘racialization’ and ‘racialized groups’ instead. I define these concepts and defend them against a range of criticisms. In Rethinking Racialization: The Analytical Limits of Racialization, Deniz Uyan critiques my “theory of racialization”. However, I do not

DEMOGRAPHIC CHANGE AND PERCEPTIONS OF RACISM Du Bois Review: Social Science Research on Race (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2021-08-25 Christopher Maggio
Various research has demonstrated that rapid racial demographic change may aid in triggering various forms of backlash under certain conditions. This has led scholars to speak of Whites “defending” their local environment in the face of eroding racial dominance. However, little research has addressed how perceptions of racism among minorities may be triggered under conditions of demographic change

REACTION TO THE BLACK CITY AS A CAUSE OF MODERN CONSERVATISM: A Case Study of Political Change in Ohio, 1932–2016. Du Bois Review: Social Science Research on Race (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2021-08-19 Jason Hackworth
Social scientists in a variety of fields have long relied on economic-structuralist theories to understand the ascendance and hegemony of the modern Conservative Movement in the United States. In the materialist theory of political change (MTPC), structural crisis in the 1970s destabilized Keynesian-managerialism, and paved the way for neoliberalism. Key weaknesses of this approach include its relatively
