• 1. The new American minority; 2. Making the invisible visible; 3. The measurement and meaning of group ties; 4. Who identifies as white?; 5. The content and contours of whiteness; 6. The preservation of whiteness; 7. Policies that protect the group; 8. A black man in the White House; 9. The future of white America.

'For most of the period since the civil rights movement, the best scholarship has found that whites' identities as white people played little role in their racial politics, at least as compared to their resentments of blacks. Ashley Jardina's book has changed that. It provides us with the most thorough and convincing evidence of the continuing centrality of white identity in many whites' thinking about race in America.'
