Amidst discontent over America's growing diversity, many white Americans now view the political world through the lens of a racial identity. Whiteness was once thought to be invisible because of whites' dominant position and ability to claim the mainstream, but today a large portion of whites actively identify with their racial group and support policies and candidates that they view as protecting whites' power and status. In White Identity Politics, Ashley Jardina offers a landmark analysis of emerging patterns of white identity and collective political behavior, drawing on sweeping data. Where past research on whites' racial attitudes emphasized out-group hostility, Jardina brings into focus the significance of in-group identity and favoritism. White Identity Politics shows that disaffected whites are not just found among the working class; they make up a broad proportion of the American public - with profound implications for political behavior and the future of racial conflict in America.

Editorial Reviews

Review

'For most of the period since the civil rights movement, the best scholarship has found that whites' identities as white people played little role in their racial politics, at least as compared to their resentments of blacks. Ashley Jardina's book has changed that. It provides us with the most thorough and convincing evidence of the continuing centrality of white identity in many whites' thinking about race in America.' David O. Sears, University of California, Los Angeles

'For too long now, political scientists have tended to firewall the study of white Americans to the questions of whether out-group bias persists and, if so, whether it continues to bear the virulence of Jim Crow-style racism or manifests in new indirect, implicit strains. White Identity Politics is a breakthrough that invites us to rethink the roots of both white prejudice and white solidarity. This is an indelible and indispensable corrective that ought to be read by anyone bewildered by our current political moment.' Taeku Lee, University of California, Berkeley

'White Identity Politics provides a timely and insightful look at American racial politics from the perspective of the white majority. Jardina argues that growing demographic diversity has politicized white identity, generating a sense of white deprivation and defense of white privilege that is distinct from racial animus. Many whites do not identify strongly with their racial group but those who do show clear favoritism for policies and political candidates who promote white interests and maintain white numerical supremacy. By shifting the focus away from white prejudice and toward the defense of white privilege, the book makes an invaluable contribution to the study of American race and ethnic relations.' Leonie Huddy, Stony Brook University, New York

'The timing thus could not be better for Duke University political scientist Ashley Jardina's eye-opening book, White Identity Politics, which uses extensive survey research to explore the meaning of white identity today.' Richard D. Kahlenberg, Washington Monthly

The volume is a smart, well-researched text that uses empirical data to undergird the author's claims. An important book.' R. A. Harper, Choice

Excellent an important contribution to our scholarly and societal knowledge of identity more broadly and to how we conceive of groups in contemporary society.' Samara Klar, The Journal of Politics

'Let me cut right to the chase. Every scholar of public opinion, racial and ethnic politics, and political psychology in the United States should read and own this book. It will be pulled off the shelf and cited often. It will inspire.' Deborah J. Schildkraut, Public Opinion Quarterly

Jardina situates White solidarity as a construct that requires greater scrutiny and [shows] White identity is not merely conservatism, working class ideology, nationalism, or racial prejudice. Instead it operates as a coherent and meaningful core attachment among members of the dominant racial group. A must read for all who endeavor to understand contemporary politics, public opinion, or social stratification in the United States.' David C. Wilson, Journal of Race, Ethnicity, and Politics

Jardina's research is carefully executed and there is no doubt that she has painstakingly attempted to proactively respond to potential criticisms a must read for all who endeavor to understand contemporary politics, public opinion, or social stratification in the United States.' David C. Wilson, Journal of Race, Ethnicity, and Politics

Book Description

Amidst discontent over diversity, racial identity is a lens through which many US white Americans now view the political world.

    5.0 out of 5 stars An absolute must read
    Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2019

    One of the best politics books I’ve read since reading the looming towers in the early 2000s after 9-11. This book gives an underhanded analysis of the factors that have led to “nativism” and anti immigrant stances in the country and how that is shifting political views of white populous in this country. An absolute must read. One of the important things we see is the idea of white external hatred against others vs white inward group collectivism that results in similar consequences as white external hostility to another group or what she calls the outgroup. Understanding the factors leading to populs here and in Europe needs looking into what these groups most fear to break down those fears and get the changes we desire. A wise woman once said you cannot bludgeon fear with data, the truth of that statement is shown here where data may be used to show the changes in national views towards immigrants and political topics but is largely driven by deeper fears that supersede their ability to see how their actions are causing troubling behaviors in themselves and others. Until we do more analyses like this and get to the heart of what one fears we will not change their minds

    A good book, but it reads as if written by someone who is either working on, our recently received, their Doctorate and is set upon making an impression or name in their peer group. 'Nothing wrong with that, it just seems it could have been presented in a more inclusive manner. Rife with research, statistical and empirical data, citations, etc.

    3.0 out of 5 stars The mistake the book makes...
    Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2019
    Verified Purchase
    The mistake the book makes, and I doubt its out of ignorance, is labeling white people as the most powerful identity group in America who had full control over the institutions. For the past 100 years white people have been the number 2 most powerful group, and as you can see the author is allowed to write a book about white identity politics and be allowed to keep her job and book on Amazon. Unlike PHD Kevin Macdonald who writes about the the number 1 most powerful identity group and he was not allowed to keep his job and he's not allowed to have his book on Amazon. As the author says in the book you can't understand one groups identity without talking about the others and there is a huge hole in the story here.
