Books like White power, White pride! by Betty A. Dobratz


White Power, White Pride! presents the first comprehensive study of the white separatist phenomenon in the United States. Drawing on resource mobilization theory, political process models, New Social Movement theory, and labeling theory, the author examines the major actors and organizations that have shaped the movement. A historical overview tracks its growth over time, while in‑depth analysis focuses on contemporary groups such as the Ku Klux Klan, neo‑Nazis, Christian Identity, and skinheads. The book also discusses countermovement organizations— the Southern Poverty Law Center, the Anti‑Defamation League of B’nai B’rith, and the Coalition for Human Dignity—and explores both protest and mainstream strategies used by white separatists. The study concludes by placing the movement within the broader context of U.S. political and economic conditions.

The possessive investment in whiteness by 8379316|George Lipsitz book cover

📘 The possessive investment in whiteness

In this unflinching look at white supremacy, George Lipsitz argues that racism is a matter of interests as well as attitudes, a problem of property as well as pigment. Above and beyond personal prejudice, whiteness is a structured advantage that produces unfair gains and unearned rewards for whites while imposing impediments to asset accumulation, employment, housing, and health care for minorities. Reaching beyond the black/white binary, Lipsitz shows how whiteness works in respect to Asian Americans, Latinos, and Native Americans.Lipsitz delineates the weaknesses embedded in civil rights laws, the racial dimensions of economic restructuring and deindustrialization, and the effects of environmental racism, job discrimination and school segregation. He also analyzes the centrality of whiteness to U.S. culture, and perhaps most importantly, he identifies the sustained and perceptive critique of white privilege embedded in the radical black tradition. This revised and expanded edition also includes an essay about the impact of Hurricane Katrina on working class Blacks in New Orleans, whose perpetual struggle for dignity and self determination has been obscured by the city's image as a tourist party town.
