American While Black: African Americans, Immigration, and the Limits of Citizenship de Niambi Michele Carter

American While Black: African Americans, Immigration, and the Limits of Citizenship

Autor Niambi Michele Carter
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 16 oct 2019

În cadrul studiilor de politici comparative și al sociologiei politice americane, lucrarea American While Black ocupă un loc central prin reîncadrarea dezbaterii despre imigrație dintr-o perspectivă adesea ignorată: cea a populației afro-americane. Remarcăm cum Niambi Michele Carter demonstrează că, deși agendele de justiție socială par convergente, valurile recente de imigrație au generat o dilemă profundă pentru cetățenii de culoare, forțându-i să își redefinească apartenența națională într-un sistem marcat de supremația albă.

Subliniem rigoarea metodologică a autoarei, care îmbină datele empirice cu interviuri calitative pentru a explica de ce atitudinile aparent negative față de imigranți nu sunt simple conflicte inter-etnice, ci strategii de supraviețuire politică. Volumul este comparabil cu The Politics of Belonging de Natalie Masuoka în ceea ce privește utilizarea sondajelor naționale pentru a descifra opinia publică, dar este actualizat pentru a reflecta modul în care rasismul structural constrânge nu doar poziția socială, ci și discursul politic intern al comunității de culoare. Spre deosebire de alte analize care se concentrează pe reacțiile populației albe, Niambi Michele Carter mută centrul de greutate spre relația complexă dintre cetățenia limitată a afro-americanilor și noul regim de imigrație. Este o lectură esențială pentru înțelegerea modului în care identitatea națională este negociată la intersecția dintre rasă și politicile de frontieră, oferind prima teorie articulată a opiniei publice negre asupra acestui subiect sensibil.

De ce să citești această carte

Această carte este indispensabilă pentru cercetătorii în științe politice și sociologie care doresc să înțeleagă nuanțele cetățeniei americane dincolo de dihotomia alb-negru. Cititorul câștigă o perspectivă clară asupra modului în care politicile de imigrație influențează coeziunea socială și cum structurile de putere istorice modelează opiniile politice contemporane. Este un instrument critic pentru analiza justiției sociale în secolul XXI.

Descriere

At the same time that the Civil Rights Movement brought increasing opportunities for blacks, the United States liberalized its immigration policy. While the broadening of the United States's borders to non-European immigrants fits with a black political agenda of social justice, recent waves of immigration have presented a dilemma for blacks, prompting ambivalent or even negative attitudes toward migrants. What has an expanded immigration regime meant for how blacks express national attachment? In this book, Niambi Michele Carter argues that immigration, both historically and in the contemporary moment, has served as a reminder of the limited inclusion of African Americans in the body politic. As Carter contends, blacks use the issue of immigration as a way to understand the nature and meaning of their American citizenship-specifically the way that white supremacy structures and constrains not just their place in the American political landscape, but their political opinions as well. White supremacy gaslights black people, and others, into critiquing themselves and each other instead of white supremacy itself. But what may appear to be a conflict between blacks and other minorities is about self-preservation. Carter draws on original interview material and empirical data on African American political opinion to offer the first theory of black public opinion toward immigration.

Recenzii

American while Black provides a starting point for an area of immigration studies rarely examined by scholars: the attitudes of black Americans toward immigrants. Though the book is not exhaustive, it provides a seminal framework for starting policy and political conversations regarding the attitudes and beliefs of black Americans who share a history of slavery, Jim Crow, segregation, and institutional racism. Carter (political science, Howard Univ.) is skillful in approaching the overarching topic of black political behavior through the lens of immigration. Specifically, she discusses black citizenship, identity politics, relationships between minorities in the US, and the implications of a shared black American experience for discourse on immigration.
Carter's argument is nothing short of a revelation, implicating the historical context of structural racism in US democracy in shaping political attitudes on immigration. ... American while Black is one of those rare books that forces the reader to think about a topic in a new way.
American While Black offers readers a much-needed discussion and analysis of Black attitudes on immigration, and convincingly demonstrates their wide-ranging set of opinions. Carter provides a sophisticated and nuanced explanation that deftly considers the way white supremacy and racial hierarchy structures intergroup relations and attitudes. This is an important book that all immigration scholars should read in order have a more comprehensive understanding of the diversity of immigration attitudes in the US.
American While Black represents a groundbreaking study of public opinion, forcing us to rethink what we have learned about views towards racialized public policy issues such as immigration in the United States. This book is beautifully written, displaying Carter's ability to present rigorous analytical findings in a concise, thoughtful, and careful manner, that uplifts the voices of Black people. In doing so, she lights the way for future researchers to understand racial attitudes toward policy issues that affect us all in this changing American political landscape.
This book is a bold and unapologetic account of Black attitudes on immigration. It places the experiences of Black Americans at the center of its narrative on this important subject. It also highlights the role that White supremacy plays in structuring Black politics and Black attitudes on immigration. Carter provides a novel perspective on two of the most pressing issues of our time: race and immigration.
Once in a decade a book is published that stops the reader in her tracks, pulling her into a narrative so persuasive, so richly researched, so penetrating, that one can never think about the topic in the same way again. Niambi Carter has written this book. Her articulation of conflicted nativism among African Americans forges new and fertile ground in revealing the dynamics of race within the constraints of the U.S. racial hierarchy.
American While Black is a revelation. Carter examines 'how and why race matters in black public opinion on immigration.' This creative and thought-provoking work is required reading for any student of Race-Ethnicity and Politics. Carter plants her thoughtful volume at the center of contemporary conflicts and debates over assimilation, white supremacy, European immigration, natural born citizenship, and the ongoing struggles Black Americans have waged for recognition of their 'immunities and protections granted by the constitution.'
Too many studies on Americans' attitudes about immigration focus solely on the responses of whites while ignoring the reactions of nonwhites. Carter's lens-shifting book moves African Americans from the margins to the center of longstanding immigration debates in the U.S. Reminding us that African Americans often have been reduced to the status of virtual strangers and second-class citizens in their own land, Carter explores how the group has reacted to the arrival of new immigrants over time and across the country. The book documents a great deal of incertitude and ambivalence in African Americans' attitudes toward immigration. Yet Carter perceptively points to one certainty in their views: African Americans believe that immigration, like so many other issues, is entangled with this country's race problem. It is this most familiar and uncomfortable truth about American democracy that Carter unflinchingly confronts in this powerful book.
