ADDITIONAL SUPPORT FOR THE FREEDOM SCHOLAR AWARDS HAS BEEN PROVIDED BY THE INATAI FOUNDATION.
A sweeping history of transformative, radical, and abolitionist movements in the United States that places the struggle for racial justice at the center of universal liberation.
In Producers, Parasites, Patriots, Daniel Martinez HoSang and Joseph E. Lowndes explore how recent economic power concentration in the U.S. has created new forms of racialization, altering racial dynamics and class politics, particularly within right-wing movements, by shifting economic protections of whiteness and promoting certain conservatives of color within the neoliberal framework.
