Description
Invisible Jim Crow: A Critical Examination of Contemporary Ideological Threats to African Americans. This book explores the dominant ideological frameworks in the United States from 1980 to 2007, shedding light on the operational framework of the late 20th century Republican Revolution and its lasting impact on African Americans. The author examines the neo-liberal/neo-conservative alliance and its strategic use of race and taxes to shape public discourse and policy. The book investigates the role of radical conservative ideologies in shaping the life chances and opportunities of African Americans, as well as their influence on contemporary public discourse and the creation of discursive communities. By applying an African-centered lens, Invisible Jim Crow provides a nuanced analysis of the ongoing contradictions in American society. Through its examination of the intersection of politics, economics, and race, this book offers a critical perspective on the enduring challenges faced by African Americans in the 21st century.
