DOC Three Worlds of Relief: Race; Immigration; and the American Welfare State from the Progressive Era to the New Deal (Princeton Studies in American ... International; and Comparative Perspectives) by Cybelle Fox in History

Description

The American racial order--the beliefs; institutions; and practices that organize relationships among the nation's races and ethnicities--is undergoing its greatest transformation since the 1960s. Creating a New Racial Order takes a groundbreaking look at the reasons behind this dramatic change; and considers how different groups of Americans are being affected. Through revealing narrative and striking research; the authors show that the personal and political choices of Americans will be critical to how; and how much; racial hierarchy is redefined in decades to come. The authors outline the components that make up a racial order and examine the specific mechanisms influencing group dynamics in the United States: immigration; multiracialism; genomic science; and generational change. Cumulatively; these mechanisms increase heterogeneity within each racial or ethnic group; and decrease the distance separating groups from each other. The authors show that individuals are moving across group boundaries; that genomic science is challenging the whole concept of race; and that economic variation within groups is increasing. Above all; young adults understand and practice race differently from their elders: their formative memories are 9/11; Hurricane Katrina; and Obama's election--not civil rights marches; riots; or the early stages of immigration. Blockages could stymie or distort these changes; however; so the authors point to essential policy and political choices. Portraying a vision; not of a postracial America; but of a different racial America; Creating a New Racial Order examines how the structures of race and ethnicity are altering a nation.

Excellent.By Phi FoggWell argued and fills a hole in the literature on race and the American welfare state by addressing Mexicans/Mexican-Americans in the American Southwest and Southern/Eastern Europeans in the Northeast.
