2013 HONORABLE MENTION, ASSOCIATION FOR HUMANIST SOCIOLOGY BOOK AWARD
2012 FINALIST, SOCIETY FOR THE STUDY OF SOCIAL PROBLEMS C. WRIGHT MILLS BOOK AWARD

Discussions of race are inevitably fraught with tension, both in opinion and positioning. Too frequently, debates are framed as clear points of opposition--us versus them. And when considering white racial identity, a split between progressive movements and a neoconservative backlash is all too frequently assumed. Taken at face value, it would seem that whites are splintering into antagonistic groups, with differing worldviews, values, and ideological stances.

White Bound investigates these dividing lines, questioning the very notion of a fracturing whiteness, and in so doing offers a unique view of white racial identity. Matthew Hughey spent over a year attending the meetings, reading the literature, and interviewing members of two white organizations--a white nationalist group and a white antiracist group. Though he found immediate political differences, he observed surprising similarities. Both groups make meaning of whiteness through a reliance on similar racist and reactionary stories and worldviews.

On the whole, this book puts abstract beliefs and theoretical projection about the supposed fracturing of whiteness into relief against the realities of two groups never before directly compared with this much breadth and depth. By examining the similarities and differences between seemingly antithetical white groups, we see not just the many ways of being white, but how these actors make meaning of whiteness in ways that collectively reproduce both white identity and, ultimately, white supremacy.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"The author positions race squarely at the center to challenge the shared assumptions of white supremacist logic on both sides of the debate. The clever thesis blurs the boundaries between 'good whites' and 'bad whites', rendering the white reader intellectually stimulated ..." -Kathy A. Mills, Qualitative Research

"Hughey's analysis suggests that, while different in form, members of both organizations are 'bound' by a tendency to diminish the disadvantages faced by racial minorities as well as a desire to highlight the alleged disadvantages faced by white Americans, sometimes aiming to make the claim that white actors experience disadvantages that are equal to those faced by of 'people of color'." -Ajay Sandhu, Canadian Journal of Sociology

This book is absolutely incredible. Every American needs to read it, especially the white people. As a white person myself, I think most white people in America are highly similar to the Whites for Racial Justice group. And that needs to change.

A fascinating and challenging book on white racial identity

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 14, 2017

This book offered a fascinating look at how white nationalists and white antiracists conceptualize white racial identity in relation to other races. What may be shocking to most people is that Hughey found that the groups showed a lot of similarities, from the strategies they used to their views of people of color, despite having such utterly polar opposite goals. I imagine that may be difficult for people on both ends of the political spectrum to accept, and thus, there are a number of reactionary reviews on this site.

Hughey outlines how both the white nationalists and antiracists had shared perceptions of nonwhites as having dysfunctional pathologies, claimed victimization, framed themselves as white saviors, used relationships with nonwhites as a form of capital in order to prove that they were knowledgeable about other races and nonracist, and had feelings of entitlement to racialized knowledge, with palpable frustration at feeling excluded and frequent dismissal of those things they didn’t understand as unimportant. In short, both groups, even the antiracists, who desired multiculturalism and the dismantling of white privilege, still held stereotypical and racist views of minority groups and feelings of white superiority, although the antiracists’ views were tinged with pity.

Hughey does warn about the generalizability of these findings; while this ethnography is excellent for understanding these processes and patterns of thought, the two groups participating in this study may not be representative of whites in general. Indeed, they do tend to occupy two extremes. At the same time, it is certainly eye-opening to realize that two such disparate groups are, as Hughey puts it, two sides of the same coin.

Don't Waste Your Money

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 4, 2017

To save someone from wasting their money on ideology presented as sociological science, you may want to know this. I listened to the author being interviewed by Tucker Carlson and thought, "This guy is an academic looney-tune." He asserted that Pres. Trump won based on white supremacy and that America is still a white supremacist society. He could never give a reasonable answer the repeated question, "If America is such an oppressive, white supremacist society, then why are the majority of legal immigrants to this country non-whites??" Nor can he answer the fact that today foreign-born black immigrants make 30% more than native blacks. These immigrants don't see the USA as an evil white supremacist evil empire. Peole vote with their feet and they are not seeing America through the warped, leftist lens of the poor professor who has spent too much time in his ivory tower.

I suggest reading it!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on April 6, 2013

Verified Purchase

Hughey's book is focusing in the 2006-7 till 2012 era that it was published. a research in sociology, race and ethnicity. There are no political or historical references, only a very broad overview.
(this could be one of its disadvantages).

Hughey shows how civic nationalism and racial nationalism are connected and opposed to each other.
One could say that the very groups he researches(the white nationalist: National Equality for All and the white antiracist: Whites fo Racial Justice/ not real names) are the embodiment of these two terms.

They both wish for America to provide equality, freedom, pursuit of happiness for all and a democratic government. At the same time however, racial nationalism has made the existence of these two oppositional groups possible.

A very interesting analysis of what it means to be white in America.

He starts every chapter with an anecdote and quotes from NEA and WRJ members which makes it easy to read. In between he quotes work from other scholars and one can clearly see that he knows what he is talking about, and he is to the point.

One could argue that this book does not have a historical or political insight but this is not distracting to the reader. It is focusing on the social aspect of segregation, white nationalism and anti-racism, affirmative action.

Also, he uses pseudonyms for the NEA, the WRJ and their members, does not even disclose where they are situated(somewhere in the East coast). This is to protect the individuals involved, however I have many doubts mainly because I have to trust Hughey on having done his "homework" well. There is an appendix focusing on the methodology he used which sounds legit but still it is debatable if his sources are to be trusted.

I would recommend it for someone who is more interested in hearing the story behind laws, political institutions and historical events.
