Beskrivning

Revealing Britain’s Systemic Racism applies an existing scholarly paradigm (systemic racism and the white racial frame) to assess the implications of the Duchess of Sussex’s entry and place in the British royal family, including an analysis that bears on visual and material culture. The white racial frame, as it manifests in the UK and internationally, represents an important lens through which to map and examine contemporary racism and related inequities. By questioning the long-held, but largely anecdotal, beliefs about racial progressiveness in the UK, the authors provide an original counter-narrative about how Meghan’s experiences as a black (biracial) member of the British royal family help illumine contemporary forms of white racism in Britain. Revealing Britain’s Systemic Racism identifies and documents the plethora of ways systemic racism continues to shape ecological and institutional spaces in the UK and beyond. Here Kimberley Ducey and Joe R. Feagin challenge romanticized notions of racial inclusivity by applying Feagin’s long-established theoretical work on systemic racism, aiming to make a unique and significant contribution to literature in sociology and in various other disciplines.The second edition of this book continues and updates the saga of Meghan’s experiences, underscoring the myriad ways systemic racism continues to shape spaces in the UK and beyond, and especially detailing how most white Britons continue to cling to colorblind myths about their officially democratic country as the white mainstream British media deny the extensive racism that people of color still face.

Recensioner i media

“Through a theoretically informed, historically grounded, and timely intervention they analyze why a Black duchess can simultaneously be celebrated as proof of a colour-blind Britain while also interpreted as an imminent threat to the aristocracy. This work invites no less than a revisioning of the very structures that underpin British society.”Nalini Mohabir, Associate Professor, Concordia University“This book is an excellent example of how to discuss the role of race, racism, and colonialism in shaping ideas about Englishness and Britishness. Feagin and Ducey cover the background of race and the royal family as well as the aftermath of the marriage of Meghan Markle to Prince Harry and their abdication. Well known for their work on systemic racism in the United States, the authors provide an important resource for familiarising many British students and scholars how a systemic racial frame can help to make sense of the specificities of the British situation.”John Solomos, Professor of Sociology, University of Warwick, and editor-in-chief of Ethnic and Racial Studies
