American Antiblackness

Examining the Fields of Contemporary Racism

American Antiblackness provides a compelling window into how antiblackness is embedded in specific US organizations and institutions—including education, sports leagues, STEM fields, and healthcare institutions—to foreground how generations of Black activists and scholars have aggressively countered these racist traditions.

American Antiblackness: Examining the Fields of Contemporary Racism details how, from its founding, antiblackness has been axiomatic for the United States. The goal of antiblackness is the delegitimization and dehumanization of actual Blackness, from its oral and written resistance narratives to its outstanding works of literature and science, and from its hard-won political achievements to its strivings for greater freedom and social justice. This centuries-long process of delegitimization has racially segregated lives to a much larger extent than is generally acknowledged. This book provides a compelling window into how antiblackness is embedded, reproduced, and challenged in specific US organizations and institutions—including educational systems, sports leagues, STEM fields, and healthcare institutions. It foregrounds how many generations of Black activists and scholars have aggressively countered these racially discriminatory traditions.

Through a notable mix of established and rising scholars across numerous disciplines, American Antiblackness unpacks how antiblackness has been analyzed in many areas of research. This book presents an intersectional approach to understanding common debates and threads in how these various fields have examined antiblackness, and it will be of critical importance to social justice activists and scholars across many disciplines, including African American studies, the social sciences, the physical sciences, the humanities, public policy programs, and art and literature studies.
