"Deeply imbedded in American minds and institutions, the white racial frame has for centuries functioned as a broad worldview essential to the systemic racism in the United States. Feagin examines how and why this frame emerged in North America and evolved over time, which racial groups are framed within it, how it has operated in the past and in the present for white Americans and Americans of color, and how the latter have long responded with strategies of resistance. In this new edition is a discussion of the impact of the white frame on popular culture and a discussion of the white racial frame's significant impacts on public policymaking, immigration, the environment, health care, and crime"-- Provided by publisher.
