Ashley Jardina Knihy

Racial identity serves as a critical perspective for many white Americans navigating today's political landscape, particularly in the context of growing discontent over diversity. The book delves into how this shift in viewpoint influences political attitudes and behaviors, highlighting the complexities and implications of viewing politics through the lens of race. It examines the interplay between identity and political engagement, offering insights into contemporary societal dynamics.

This book is for people who want to understand emerging patterns of white identity and collective political behavior in an increasingly diverse America. Drawing on robust evidence, Jardina shows that many whites possess an activated racial identity and support policies and candidates they see as protecting whites' power and status.
