It is invoked to explain all manner of historical phenomena and current issues, from slavery to police brutality to acute poverty, and it is also used as a term of civic denunciation and moral condemnation. In this erudite and incisive book based on a panoramic mining of comparative and historical research from around the globe, Loïc Wacquant pours cold analytical water on this hot topic and infuses it with epistemological clarity, conceptual precision, and empirical breadth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on Gaston Bachelard, Max Weber, and Pierre Bourdieu, Wacquant first articulates a series of reframings, starting with dislodging the United States from its Archimedean position, in order to capture race-making as a form of symbolic violence. He then forges a set of novel concepts to rethink the nexus of racial classification and stratification: the continuum of ethnicity and race as disguised ethnicity, the diagonal of racialization and the pentad of ethnoracial domination, the checkerboard of violence and the dialectic of salience and consequentiality. This enables him to elaborate a meticulous critique of such fashionable notions as “structural racism” and “racial capitalism” that promise much but deliver little due to their semantic ambiguity and rhetorical malleability—notions that may even hamper the urgent fight against racial inequality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWacquant turns to deploying this conceptual framework to dissect two formidable institutions of ethnoracial rule in America: Jim Crow and the prison. He draws on ethnographies and historiographies of white domination in the postbellum South to construct a robust analytical concept of Jim Crow as caste terrorism erected in the late 19th century. He unravels the deadly symbiosis between the black hyperghetto and the carceral archipelago that has coproduced and entrenched the material and symbolic marginality of the African-American precariat in the metropolis of the late 20th century. Wacquant concludes with reflections on the politics of knowledge and pointers on the vexed question of the relationship between social epistemology and racial justice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBoth sharply focused and wide ranging, synthetic yet controversial, \u003ci\u003eRacial Domination\u003c\/i\u003e will be of interest to students and scholars of race and ethnicity, power and inequality, and epistemology and theory across the social sciences and humanities.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface: Bachelard, Weber, Bourdieu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProblemstellung: When the politics and analytics of race collide\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSociological reset: epistemology, methodology, theory\u003cbr\u003eSpecifying domination\u003cbr\u003eCaveats and preview\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.-Reframing Racial Domination\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.-Historicize\u003cbr\u003e2.-Spatialize\u003cbr\u003e3.-Dislodge the United States\u003cbr\u003e4.-Forsake the logic of the trial\u003cbr\u003e5.-Race as denegated ethnicity\u003cbr\u003eDiagonal of racialization\u003cbr\u003eExcursus: the radical abdication of Afropessimism\u003cbr\u003eDialectic of salience and consequentiality\u003cbr\u003eRace-making through classification struggles\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2.-Pentad of Ethnoracial Rule\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDisassembling racial domination\u003cbr\u003e1.-Categorization\u003cbr\u003e2.-Discrimination\u003cbr\u003e3.-Segregation \u003cbr\u003e4.-Seclusion\u003cbr\u003e5.-Violence\u003cbr\u003eArchitecture and articulations\u003cbr\u003eLure of “racial capitalism”\u003cbr\u003eClassification, stratification, and the state\u003cbr\u003eThe mystification of “structural racism”\u003cbr\u003e“Structural racism” redux: a penal illustration\u003cbr\u003eRace-making as group-making\u003cbr\u003eGroup hysteresis, denigration and disgrace\u003cbr\u003e3.-Jim Crow as Caste Terrorism\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom song to doxic notion to analytic concept\u003cbr\u003eRise and reign of the one-drop rule\u003cbr\u003eEconomic infrastructure: sharecropping and debt peonage\u003cbr\u003eSocial core: asymmetric bifurcation and the mandate of deference\u003cbr\u003eLocking the system: political and judicial exclusion\u003cbr\u003eSpecter of “white death”\u003cbr\u003eCaste terrorism: the virtues of conceptual clarity\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e4.-Fatal Attraction: When Ghetto and Prison Meet and Mesh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReframing black hyperincarceration\u003cbr\u003eFour “peculiar institutions”\u003cbr\u003eHow the ghetto became more like a prison\u003cbr\u003eHow the prison became more like a ghetto\u003cbr\u003eHow the prison is remaking race and reshaping citizenship\u003cbr\u003eHistory, penality and place\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCoda: From racial domination to racial justice\u003cbr\u003eVarieties of racial domination\u003cbr\u003eThree paths to racial justice\u003cbr\u003eHistoricity of racial domination\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Sociology \u0026amp; anthropology [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Sociology \u0026amp; anthropology\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Sociology%20\u0026amp;%20anthropology%20%5BJH%5D%22\"\u003eJH\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52460727140632,"sku":"9781509563029","price":18.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781509563029.jpg?v=1785459385","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/racial-domination-paperback-softback-9781509563029","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
