Reviews Racial Resentment in the Political Mind is a masterful recasting of racial resentment from an exclusive focus on Whites' prejudice toward Blacks to a broader, richer concept focusing on feelings of injustice among Blacks as well as Whites. Based on a thoroughly updated theoretical and political foundation, the measure of racial resentment developed by Davis and Wilson is not just psychometrically elegant but also a powerful explanation of the many grievances felt by supporters of Donald Trump and the contemporary racial divide in the US., Racial Resentment in the Political Mind ?is a masterful recasting of racial resentment from an exclusive focus on Whites' prejudice toward Blacks to a broader, richer concept focusing on feelings of injustice among Blacks as well as Whites.

SynopsisA thought-provoking look at how racial resentment, rather than racial prejudice alone, motivate a growing resistance among whites to improve the circumstances faced by racial minorities. In Racial Resentment in the Political Mind , Darren W. Davis and David C. Wilson challenge the commonly held notion that all racial negativity, disagreements, and objections to policies that seek to help racial minorities stem from racial prejudice. They argue that racial resentmentarisesfrom just-world beliefs and appraisals of deservingness that help explain the persistence of racial inequality in America in ways more consequential than racism or racial prejudice alone. The culprits, as many White people see it, are undeserving people of color, who are perceived to benefit unfairly from, and take advantage of, resources that come at Whites' expense-a worldview in which any attempt at modest change is seen as a challenge to the status quo and privilege. Yet, as Davis and Wilson reveal, many Whites have become racially resentful due to their perceptions that African Americans skirt the "rules of the game" and violate traditional values by taking advantage of unearned resources. Resulting attempts at racial progress lead Whites to respond in ways that retain their social advantage-opposing ameliorative policies, minority candidates, and other advancement on racial progress. Because racial resentment is rooted in beliefs about justice, fairness, and deservingness, ordinary citizens, who may not harbor racist motivations, may wind up in the same political position as racists, but for different reasons., A thought-provoking look at how racial resentment, rather than racial prejudice alone, motivate a growing resistance among whites to improve the circumstances faced by racial minorities. In Racial Resentment in the Political Mind , Darren W. Davis and David C. Wilson explore the idea that racial resentment, rather than simply racial prejudice alone, is the basis for the growing resistance among whites toward efforts to improve the circumstances faced by minorities. The authors argue that there is a growing sentiment among whites that they are "losing-out" and "being cut in line" by Black people and other minorities, as reflected in an emphasis on diversity and inclusion, multiculturalism, trigger warnings, and political correctness, an increase in African Americans occupying powerful positions, and the election of Barack Obama. The culprits, as many white people see it, are undeserving people of color, who are perceived to benefit unfairly from, and take advantage of, resources that come at whites' expense. This rewarding of unearned resources is seen as a challenge to the status quo. Yet, as Davis and Wilson reveal, such reactions may not stem only from racial prejudice or hatred; instead, they may be a defensive posture, resulting from threats to whites' sense of justice, entitlement, and status. Their research finds racial resentment, stemming from beliefs about justice, fairness, and deservingness makes ordinary citizens appear racist. Informative and thought-provoking, Racial Resentment in the Political Mind adds a much-needed dimension to a timely topic.
