Routledge Racialized Protest and the State - Contemporary Social Movements

Racialized Protest and the State examines key ethnic and racial movements across contemporary America through empirical research and social movement theory. This volume brings together leading scholars to analyse the Black Lives movement, mainstream Black organizations, Mexican-American Dreamer groups, immigrant-rights mobilizations, Arab-American resistance, and White nationalism within the context of an evolving state landscape. The book situates these movements in increasingly challenging political environments, offering critical insights into how diverse communities organize, strategize, and confront state repression. Published by Routledge as part of The Mobilization Series on Social Movements, Protest, and Culture, this work provides essential reading for understanding contemporary racial justice activism and the structural forces shaping collective action in a divided nation.
