Description
The White Racial Frame: Centuries of Racial Framing and Counter-framing by Joe R. Feagin explores the concept of the white racial frame, a systemic framework that has shaped American society for over four centuries. This innovative approach encompasses not only stereotyping and bigotry but also visual images, emotions, language, and narratives that underpin everyday racism. Feagin examines how this white racial frame emerged in North America, evolved socially over time, and operates in the present day, including its impact on popular culture and public policymaking. The book delves into recent research studies on framing issues related to various racial groups and society as a whole, providing new insights into the ongoing struggle against systemic racism. This third edition of The White Racial Frame includes updated data from recent research studies, offering a comprehensive understanding of this complex issue and its far-reaching consequences for American society.
