Abstract:
Abstract This study evaluated the life course processes through which early life racial discrimination (ELRD) and racial centrality (i.e., the importance of Black identity to one’s sense of self) interact to shape allostatic load (AL) among African American (AA) adults aged 50+ in the Nashville Stress and Health Study (N=260). Adolescent ELRD was associated with greater racial centrality in adulthood and conferred 35% greater risk of high adult AL; greater centrality was also linked to high adult AL. Centrality accounts for 24% of the association between ELRD and AL. ELRD and centrality interact to shape adult AL, such that racial centrality is protective against high AL for adults who experienced racial discrimination as children or adolescents. Findings highlight the multiple pathways through which race-related stressors and psychosocial resources interact to shape physiological dysregulation in later life and underscore the health significance of racial identity for older AAs.

Abstract:
Black male adolescents face unique barriers in schools that may contribute to racial disparities in educational outcomes. Their social-cognitive strengths, however, influence their confidence to be academically successful despite these barriers. This study explored whether racial academic stereotypes and racial centrality were associated with and predicted school efficacy among 103 urban Black male adolescents. Findings indicated that racial centrality had the strongest relationship with and was the strongest predictor of school efficacy. Youth mentoring programs and educators who work with urban Black male adolescents play a key role in promoting and shaping their efficacious beliefs toward their academic success.

Abstract:
Directing attention to racial ignorance as a core dimension of racialized social systems, this article advances a process-focused Theory of Racial Ignorance (TRI), grounded in Critical Race Theory and the philosophical construct white ignorance. TRI embodies five tenets—epistemology of ignorance, ignorance as ends-based technology, corporate white agency, centrality of praxis, and interest convergence. TRI’s tenets explain how racial ignorance reinforces white domination, attending to mechanisms of white knowledge evasion and resistance that facilitate racial reproduction—in everyday life, through institutions, and across societies more broadly. I illustrate TRI’s assets by comparison to an extant theory of racial cognition—color-blind theory (CBT). I argue TRI generates returns by shifting from racial ideology to racial ignorance, and from era-defined structures to ongoing historical processes; and demonstrate TRI’s unique capacity to explain and predict changes in dominant logics, supporting more strategic resistance.

Abstract:
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a genetic blood disorder that predominantly affects people of African descent. However, there is limited information on how social and cultural contexts affect SCD-related health care use. We explored whether communalism moderated the relation between racial centrality and emergency department use for SCD pain in a sample of 62 adults who were seen at a comprehensive clinic. Bivariate analyses showed a significant correlation between racial centrality and emergency department use ( r = −.30, p = .02). Pain-adjusted regression analyses indicated a moderating effect of communalism ( b = .77, p < .01) such that an inverse association between racial centrality and emergency department use was observed only at mean and low levels of communalism. Additional studies are needed to replicate these findings with larger samples. There is also a need for further studies that elucidate the role of culturally centered coping strategies on health care use in this patient group.

Abstract:
Using a sample of 203 African American late adolescents aged 16 to 19 years (Mage = 17.77 years), we examined whether two aspects of gender identity—gender typicality and felt pressure for gender conformity—were related to self-esteem. Racial centrality (i.e., the importance of race to the individual’s self-concept) and gender were tested as moderators of these relations. Compared to girls, boys reported that they were more typical of their gender group (i.e., gender typicality) and that they experienced greater pressure to conform to traditional gender norms (i.e., felt pressure). Multiple linear regression analyses showed that gender typicality was positively related to self-esteem among girls and boys and that the relation was stronger for girls. Racial centrality moderated the relation between gender typicality and self-esteem, such that the relation was weaker for youth who reported higher levels of racial centrality. Felt pressure was negatively related to self-esteem for both boys and girls. These results underscore the importance of considering both gender and race as social identities as we seek to understand African American adolescents’ psychological adjustment.

Abstract:
AbstractThe current study examined the concurrent and prospective associations of ethnic–racial identity content (i.e., centrality, private regard, and public regard) and depressive symptomatology among Latino adolescents. Data were drawn from a longitudinal study of Latino adolescents (N= 148, 53.4% girls) who were 13–14 years old at Wave 1. Results indicated that higher ethnic–racial centrality at Waves 1 and 2 predicted fewer depressive symptoms at Waves 2 and 3, respectively. In addition, more positive private regard at Wave 1 predicted fewer depressive symptoms at Wave 2, and more positive public regard at Wave 2 predicted fewer symptoms at Wave 3. Thus, ethnic–racial identity content may serve as a cultural protective factor that is linked to diminished depressive symptomatology among Latino youth.

Abstract:
Evidence suggests that racial identity is an important component to African Americans’ self-concepts and therefore may be relevant to patients’ trust in healthcare, yet little is known as to how racial identity may influence trust or mistrust. African American adults ( N = 220) in the greater Portland, Oregon, area provided survey reports of healthcare-related attitudes and experiences. Those who reported higher racial centrality had lower trust in healthcare institutions. Based on these findings, clinicians employing patient-centered care approaches should recognize racial identity as an important component to patients’ experiences when they seek to deliver equitable care to African American patients.

Abstract:
This paper studies racial segregation in schools using data on student friendships from Add Health. I estimate an equilibrium model of friendship formation, with preferences allowing both homophily and heterophily in direct and indirect ties. I find that homophily goes beyond direct links: students also prefer racially homogeneous indirect friends, while there is heterophily in income. I simulate policies reallocating students across schools. Race-based policies have nonlinear effects on within-school segregation and other network features such as clustering and centrality. Policies increasing diversity through reallocations based on income have less impact on racial segregation. (JEL H75, I21, I28, J15)

Full text
Abstract:

The management consulting profession in the United States is one of the fastest growing and most profitable industries in the world. Despite the industry’s increasing popularity and growth, racial minorities remain disproportionately underrepresented in this industry.

This dissertation sought to shed light on the unique experiences of minorities in the management consulting industry by examining the experiences of Black management consultants and the relationships that exist between the centrality of race, authenticity at work, and the use of race-based impression management (RIM) strategies. This study also sought to contribute to theory by validating a conceptual model, which posits that the centrality of race moderates the relationship between RIM strategies and authenticity at work.

An online survey was developed using existing instruments designed to measure the centrality of race to one’s identity, authenticity at work, and the use of RIM strategies. Quantitative data were gathered from management consultants who identified as Black and were currently or previously employed at a large multinational management consulting firm with 100,000 or more employees. Usable data were collected from 201 participants, and structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data.

This study found that the RIM strategy social recategorization was significantly related to the ability to be authentic at work, and regardless of whether the centrality of race to one’s identity was high or low, the relationship between social recategorization and participants’ ability to be authentic at work was negatively related. No significant relationship was found between RIM strategy of positive distinctiveness and the ability to be authentic at work, regardless of the degree of racial centrality. The conceptual model developed for this study could not be validated due to low levels of variance around the construct of racial centrality.

Findings from this study provide empirical insights into the experiences of Black management consultants and contribute to theory, practice, and research regarding the challenges associated with navigating cross-cultural interactions in the workplace.

Abstract:
Contextes différents en matière d’histoire et de temporalité migratoires, la France et la Catalogne en Espagne proposent un traitement politique relativement opposé des particularismes. Cette thèse s’intéresse plus particulièrement aux effets de l’ethnoracialisation des populations européennes sur les relations entre habitants des villes moyennes mélangées. Dans les deux pays étudiés, on constate une forme d’homogénéisation dans la pratique quotidienne de l’ethnicité des habitants. L’ethnoracialisation participe à reconfigurer les espaces urbains des villes moyennes, notamment à travers la constitution de centralités minoritaires. Or ces aires urbaines accélèrent l’imbrication des logiques ethniques et racisantes. Ce sont des espaces d’entre-soi, investis par les habitants originaires du Maghreb et ils matérialisent une frontière visible entre les groupes dans la ville. Egalement objet de stigmatisation et de contournements, les centralités minoritaires sont le lieu privilégié d’expression de tensions ethnoraciales dans la ville. Elles génèrent de l’insécurité urbaine qui facilite les processus de différenciation ethnoraciale et les amalgames sur les minorités. Les stéréotypes sur les originaires du Maghreb sont ainsi façonnés par l’expérience urbaine, l’histoire et le cadre national et le contexte plus global : on assiste à l’adoption commune de modalités de traitement des marqueurs ethnoraciaux, sous la rhétorique des civilisations. La peur des différences ethnoraciales justifie alors la naturalisation et la banalité du racisme et pour se dégager des assignations, les minorités usent d’un ensemble de stratégies de dépassement et de résistance au stigmate
With different historical contexts and migration temporalities, France and the region of Catalogna in Spain apply relatively opposing policies concerning specificities. This PhD thesis focuses more specifically on the effects of the ethno-racialization of the European populations on the relations between people in mixed medium sized cities. In the two studied countries, we can witness a certain homogenization in the everyday practice of ethnicity of the inhabitants. The ethno-racialization contributes to the reconfiguration the urban spaces of medium-size cities, in particular through the establishment of minority centralities. But the urban areas speed up the intertwining of ethnic and racializing logics. These are spaces of self-segregation, invested by population from the Maghreb and it materializes a visible border between the groups within the city. Also subject to stigmatization and bypasses, the minority centralities have become places of ethnoracial tensions in the city. This creates urban insecurities which favours the process of ethno-racial differentiation as well as assimilating them to minorities. The stereotypes about people of Maghrebian origins are thus created through urban experience, History and the national scope, and the more global context : we can witness the common adoption of the use of ethno-racial markers, behind the rhetoric of civilizations. The fear of ethnoracial differences then justifies the normalization and banalization of racism and to escape these designations, the minorities use a numbers of strategies to surpass themselves and to resist the stigmatization

Abstract:
Abstract The events of 2020 were an inflection point in an American journey toward health and racial equity. Necessary Conversations: Understanding Racism as a Barrier to Achieving Health Equity extends a powerful call to action. RWJF’s Sharing Knowledge conference was held in Jackson, Miss., a setting where it could build on its conviction that a Culture of Health is impossible without a commitment to racial equity. Hundreds of participants from around the country engaged in authentic dialogue about the systems and structures that are doing grave harm to people of color. With so many types of knowledge-builders in the room, a palette filled with blunt, provocative, and insistent ideas and strategies could be shared to inspire action. This sixth book in the Culture of Health series reflects a distinct shift in RWJF’s emphasis, based on a growing body of evidence that racism is the underlying cause of so many poor health outcomes. RWJF is considering what it would take to overhaul institutions that treat people differently on the basis of their race and to make very intentional shifts in their investments to elevate that focus. They are recognizing they have to commit resources and join with others to support working to advance health and racial equity. They are deepening their understanding of what it means to build partnerships and community power and the centrality of leadership by those who are most affected by the decisions that influence their lives.

Abstract:
Focusing on Jamaica, Britain’s most valuable colony in the Americas by the mid-eighteenth century, A Dark Inheritance explores the relationship between racial classifications and the inherited rights and privileges associated with British subject status. Brooke Newman reveals the centrality of notions of blood and blood mixture to evolving racial definitions and sexual practices in colonial Jamaica and to legal and political debates over slavery and the rights of imperial subjects on both sides of the Atlantic. Weaving together a diverse range of sources, Newman shows how colonial racial ideologies rooted in fictions of blood ancestry at once justified permanent, hereditary slavery for Africans and barred members of certain marginalized groups from laying claim to British liberties on the basis of hereditary status. This groundbreaking study demonstrates that challenges to an Atlantic slave system underpinned by distinctions of blood had far-reaching consequences for British understandings of race, gender, and national belonging.

Abstract:
This chapter introduces the subject of the Chinese presence in Mexico through their distorted representation in a state museum. The history of Chinese Mexicans provides new ways to analyze the formation of mestizo national identity in Revolutionary Mexico. This chapter introduces the significance of the 1917 constitution by linking its legal definition of the government’s obligation to protect the population with the historical development of racial domination. The methodological approach of an Asian Americanist critique is explored to show why attention to the discursive and ideological construction of racialized Asian difference is important to conceptions of the Mexican national state. In showing the centrality of race in the Mexican governance, the chapter lays out a comparative racial formation approach that examines the role of anti-Chinese politics in the reformulation of citizenship, state power, and national identity after the 1910 revolution.

Abstract:
This chapter interrogates the socially constructed inequalities of racial masculinities as evidenced in sport. It argues that global sport remains largely dominated by the “men's game” in so many fields. However, the men's game does not necessarily invoke an unproblematic, hegemonic masculinity. The centrality of bodies and the measures of embodiment are part of the culture of sport, which offers such primacy to masculinities, but sporting masculinities are also ambivalent and ambiguous, and are subject to the cultural transformations of other gendered identifications. Drawing on the works of Robert Connell, Michael Messner, and others, the chapter develops an argument around boxing as the embodiment of a normalized masculine activity that reifies a particular code of heterosexual gender identification.

Abstract:
This introductory chapter tells the story of how two preachers challenged racial divisions in the United States. Southern history, even American history generally, is too often told in white stories and black stories that seldom connect; yet the chapter asserts that the intertwined stories of Owen Whitfield and Claude Claude Williams challenges students of the history of the southern working class to take seriously the dynamic power and centrality of religious ideas in social and political movements, which raises new questions about the assumptions scholars have made about race, respectability, politics, and even gender in the Depression and World War II era. Their careers, in part, tell the story of the recovery of a southern common ground strong enough to support a working-class social movement for greater democracy in Depression-era America.

Abstract:
This book, demonstrating the important role of eighteenth-century literary treatments of policing and vagrancy, offers a prehistory of police legitimacy in a period that predates the establishment of the modern police force. The book argues that narrative, textual, and rhetorical practices shaped not only police and legal activity of the period, but also public conceptions of police power. The author's research delves into law and literature on both sides of the Atlantic, tracking the centrality of vagrancy in establishing police power as a form of sovereignty crucial to settler colonialism, slavery, and racial capitalism. The first book in several generations to address policing and vagrancy in the eighteenth-century, and the first in the field to center race and empire in its account of literary vagrancy, this work is a significant contribution to the field of eighteenth-century literary and cultural studies.

This article aims to go beyond the existing scholarship on eugenics and to point out the complex intertwining of visions of racial improvement with eugenic hybrids during the twentieth century. It offers an insight into the convoluted relationship between race and eugenics. It contributes to the increasingly polarized current discussion about the eternal return of eugenics. It evaluates the degree and nature of conceptual transfers of eugenic knowledge and ideas and addresses eugenics' key components. Race is a central component in the eugenic imagination and this centrality provides an insight into a larger debate, known as the nature-nurture debate. The examples of eugenic thinking on race are provided in this article. It illustrates that the study of twentieth-century eugenics is currently undergoing a remarkable transformation and contributes in new and refreshing ways to our understanding of eugenics and race.

Abstract:
This chapter argues that the prevailing orienting concepts and tenets of contemporary philosophy of music—the centrality of aesthetic objects, the assumption of the mono-functionality of music, the paradigm of European classical music, and the spectatorialist perspective—do not provide the basis for an adequate understanding of musical improvisation. The essays calls for a more robust philosophical consideration of the gamut of improvisational activity, including the aesthetic aspects of musical improvisation, the range of musical and social skills made manifest by improvisers, and the deeper social meanings of the practice, including the implicit reference to human freedom and situated meanings that arise from the national, ethnic, racial, gendered, and socio-economic contexts in which the music arises. Such a view would be theoretically nuanced, empirically informed, phenomenologically sensitive, and ineliminably indexed to the manifold ways in which improvised music situates itself in the complex of human affairs.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter returns to the question of what it means to be a Black woman intellectual by interrogating the claims in an article in Ebony Magazine in 1966 called “Problems of the Negro Woman Intellectual.” Given the ferment of racial crises in the 1960s, this chapter argues that much like the transitional period of the 1890s, the transition from Civil Rights to Black Power was marked by a tension over the roles that Black women would play, not only as political activists, but as intellectual leaders. Thus Harold Cruse’s Crisis of the Negro Intellectual erased a long and significant history of Black women’s intellectual labor in order to sustain his narrative of racial crisis. What really seems to be in crisis are the terms of Black masculinity. Cooper reads Toni Cade Bambara’s book of essays The Black Woman as a critical corrective to Cruse’s assertions because The Black Woman presses the case for Black women’s centrality as thought leaders and public intellectuals in racial justice struggles, and Bambara and her comrades approach the same political moment as an opportunity for creativity around the articulation of new modes of what she terms “Blackhood” rather than embracing the narrative of crisis. This chapter makes clear that the struggle to be known and to have the range of Black women’s experiences properly articulated in the public sphere is a recurring struggle for Black women thinkers. At the same time, these women engage in a range of creative practices to make Black women’s lives legible in public discourse.

Abstract:
This chapter explores sources and forms of resistance when intersectionality is used in educational programs, coalition building, and social justice work related to race, racial identity, and racism. After reviewing intersectionality’s tenets, the chapter presents examples of “tension points” that arise when intersectionality is used to explore several areas: individual experiences of race, interconnections between racism and other oppressions, oppression of groups other than Black women, and content and dynamics of racial justice efforts. The author, Charmaine Wijeyesinghe, offers responses to tension points and concerns that intersectionality, for example, weakens the centrality of race and racial oppression in American life by situating race in relation to gender and other social categories, or that it allows white people to avoid examining racial privilege if they have other, socially marginalized identities. The chapter concludes with the author’s reflections on how intersectionality can be used to understand race, racism, and racial justice even as the framework itself is subject to evolving social, political, and cultural dynamics.

Abstract:
Eliminating racism to achieve racial equity is certainly a grand challenge. America was built on racism, white supremacy, and colonization; so, understanding history and context are essential to progress. The Grand Challenge to Eliminate Racism calls for the social work profession to focus on the centrality of racism, both within society and the profession. We reflect on the profession’s racist history and examine social work’s current positionality by reviewing the inclusion of race and racism across all grand challenges. Efforts to eliminate racism and white supremacy must focus on evidence and practice-based research that cultivate innovation to improve the conditions of daily life for all and facilitate change at the individual, organizational, community, professional, and societal levels. We prioritize personal awareness, antiracism workforce development that advances community empowerment, revision of social work education, and policy agendas that eliminate racism and white supremacy from organizations and include continuous evaluation with accountability.

Abstract:
This chapter focuses on the cycle’s integration of emerging feminist discourses and its disruption of the postfeminist sensibility by interrogating its focus on female friendship. It highlights how the centrality of female friendship demonstrates the cycle’s liberal politics and therefore its appeal to upscale liberal or progressive audiences. The close, complex, honest relationships between main female friends on these shows, like Abbi and Ilana on Broad City, Gretchen and Lindsay on You’re the Worst, Quinn and Rachel on UnReal, or Rebecca and Paula on Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, allow them a critical self-awareness to interrogate gender norms, whiteness, and millennial culture. But the cycle’s incredibly insular and encouraging friendships also obscure racial politics and diversity by recentering whiteness and celebrating a particularly narrow type of liberal feminist girl culture that also frequently centralizes white fragility. Thinking through the critical humor and other modes of political discourse of these friendships within the context of television’s racist and postfeminist roots, this chapter situates these representations of female friendships in the context of contemporary empowerment rhetoric to interrogate the potential and limitations of television’s representational politics in this era of the reemerging or mainstreaming of feminism.

Abstract:
Whether locating its origins in Marxism, or tracing them all the way back to Kant, Critical Theory defines itself as a philosophical outlook self-consciously emancipatory, seeking to overturn structures of domination and contribute to bringing about a better world. But these laudable ambitions have repeatedly foundered on the subject of race. Despite the centrality of racism and racial domination to the modern world, Critical Theory in its mainstream incarnations has had very little useful to say on these problems. In this chapter, Mills urges a dialogue between Critical Theory and what has recently been baptized Critical Philosophy of Race, which has made the subject of race its defining focus.

Full text
Abstract:
The Conclusion explores how whiteness continues to function as a privileged racial identity that provides exemption from racial profiling and that is regularly mobilized in the service of white supremacy and white nationalism, even as the immigrant myth of bootstrapism is becoming disconnected from accounts of turn of the century European immigrants’ ascendance to a pan-European white identity and expanded to other immigrant groups. This chapter calls for more inclusive struggles for migrant citizenship rights based on connections—rather than stark divisions—between the post-Soviet diaspora and other migrants that place whiteness among other racial formations, in order to decenter its persisting centrality as a US founding mythology despite significant domestic and global changes. Coalitions across ethnic, national, and legal status will be needed to address increasingly explicit and encompassing anti-immigration discourses and policies in the United States.

Full text
Abstract:
In this chapter, Meghan Gilbert-Hickey interrogates Patrick Ness's Chaos Walking, a series that seems to problematize the normalized heteropatriarchal family while also critiquing the settler colonial mindset that supports this structure. However, as sympathetic as Ness’s portrayals of his indigenous characters and characters of color are, the series ultimately replicates structures of both settler colonialism and western racism. His portrayals of two major characters of color whitewash racialized histories of power imbalance, romanticize and stereotype indigenous populations and people of color, and reify the normalized centrality of the white perspective, particularly that of the liberal, white middle-class. Thus, Chaos Walking is, at best, an incomplete critique of Western power imbalances and, at worst, an insidious investigation of normativity that privileges discussion of gender and sexuality at the expense of racial discourse.

Full text
Abstract:
The introduction lays out the historical and conceptual dimensions of fugitive science, a concept that emerges out of scholarship on fugitivity in African American studies as well as the theorization of empiricism and minor science in the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari. It also chronicles the embeddedness of US racial science in networks of travel, writing, and scientific exchange across the Atlantic world. Finally, it illuminates the centrality of science writing in the antebellum black print sphere, while gesturing toward those forms of vernacular science that largely eluded the print archive.

Abstract:
A review of an exhibition of servant portraits, this is a wide-ranging discussion – one of the first – of the absolute centrality of domestic service in British society. It explores the ways in which servants are represented literature and art, from the domestic novel of the 18th and 19th century to the present day, and the history of the relationship between mistress and maid. It suggests that service is still crucial in the making of class difference and fostering racial assumptions, especially today when those doing society’s dirty work are often low-paid migrants.

Abstract:
Se persigue aportar una lectura de cómo y por qué cambian las ideas claves detrás las “grandes decisiones” sobre la ordenación de la ciudad, en base al estudio de diferentes “Planes” llevados a la realidad. Esta evolución se intenta trazar a través de estudiar en profundidad una serie de planes regionales: Nueva York (1929) Londres (1944), Copenhague (1947), París (1965), Barcelona (1965 y 2010), Bolonia (2004), Holanda (2004) y Marsella (2012). La lectura de ellos muestra que hay cuatro “retos comunes” fundamentales para su redacción: el uso racional del suelo, la preservación de espacios abiertos, la distribución de la centralidad y la optimización de la movilidad. De ellos se extraen sus principales aportaciones a cada una de las mencionadas ideas clave, así se disecciona cómo cada uno “evoluciona” y las causas (internas y externas) que motivan las innovaciones. The objective is to search how and why the key ideas behind the "big decisions" on the organization of the city change, basing on the study of different "plans" brought to reality. For this evolution, the following Regional Plans are studied in depth: New York (1929), London (1944), Copenhagen (1947), Paris (1965), Barcelona (1965 and 2010), Bologna (2004), Holland (2006) and Marseille (2012). A reading of them shows that there are four basic "common challenges" in their approach: rational land use, preservation of open space, distribution of centrality and optimization of mobility. The main contributions from each plan, to each of the above mentionaed key ideas are clearly stated, thus it is examined in detail how each evolves and the causes (internal and external) behind the innovations
