White Minority Nation: Past, Present and Future [Minkštas viršelis]

In this timely book, Joe Feagin brings to light the centrality of whiteness in American history and politics. Feagin meticulously dismantles the current schism that has splintered national unity and imperils the future of American democracy. Since whites are declining demographically, they have resorted to district gerrymandering and voter suppression. Feagin envisions reforming these undemocratic institutions and developing "a new and truly democratic constitutional convention at which all U.S. population groups are fairly represented and at which the central goal is creating a truly multiracial democracy."

White Minority Nation is truly a touchstone at this turning point in U.S. history. With unparalleled eloquence, Feagin brilliantly offers a compelling, in-depth look at the perils of white supremacy and eloquently shares the potential for ordinary and elite Americans to attain an authentic multiracial democracy in the coming decades. The dazzling scope, depth, and breadth of this commentary set the book apart, offering unparalleled insight into current realities and a pathway to mobilizing concerted action toward social justice and a more inclusive society.

This book is packed with analyses and critiques of social science claims about how white society might respond as they become a numerical minority racial group. Dr. Feagin examines multiple data points and common interpretations that do not stand up to current reality. The reality is that the U.S. is becoming a majority-minority nation. Feagins breakdown of the white distress, horror, and resistance to losing the country is fascinating. However, white supremacy will not die without a fight.
