There is no doubt that \u003ci\u003eWhite Bound\u003c\/i\u003e will be viewed as a major contribution in sociology.\" -- Saher Selod * \u003ci\u003eHumanity \u0026amp; Society\u003c\/i\u003e *\u003cbr\u003e\"This book is essential reading! Matthew Hughey expertly uses interview material to demonstrate how current assumptions about whiteness influence two groups as opposite as white nationalists and white antiracists. \u003ci\u003eWhite Bound\u003c\/i\u003e makes an important contribution to our understanding of the continuing significance of race in the U.S.\" -- Ashley W. Doane * University of Hartford *\u003cbr\u003e\"This is a smart book that calls attention to a number of important sociological lessons . . . Hughey outdid himself in the strength of his argument.\" -- Nancy DiTomasco * \u003ci\u003eContemporary Sociology: A Journal of Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e *\u003cbr\u003e\"Drawing on rich interviews, Matthew Hughey demonstrates the depths and power of the centuries-old white racial frame in the minds of whites in both explicitly racist and openly antiracist groups. Consciously and unconsciously, whites in both make significant use of racialized social capital and white-centered identities, understandings, and meanings. This is a bold study by a savvy new talent in sociology.\" -- Joe Feagin Texas A\u0026amp;M University * author of \u003ci\u003eRacist America\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe White Racial Frame\u003c\/i\u003e *\u003cbr\u003e\"[T]he study unearths the meanings white people attach to whiteness and explores how those meanings are enacted across the political spectrum . . . The book excels as an example of great ethnography. Hughey paints a vivid picture that takes the reader inside the daily operations of both [National Equality for All (NEA) and Whites for Racial Justice (WRJ)].\" -- Corey D. Fields * \u003ci\u003eAmerican Journal of Sociology\u003c\/i\u003e *\u003cbr\u003e\"Hughey offers a provocative effort to plumb the cultural complexity of modern white racial identity. \u003ci\u003eWhite Bound\u003c\/i\u003e seeks to illuminate often hidden linkages between racist and antiracist social projects. The book is a worthy addition to the growing literature on whiteness studies.\" -- Lawrence D. Bobo * Harvard University *\u003cbr\u003e\"White Bound is a carefully constructed study of the structure and meaning of race, especially whiteness, in the contemporary United States. In an innovative approach, Hughey traces the common logics and similar racial understandings of white racist activists and white antiracist activists to discern the foundational meanings of race in this country. . . Advanced undergraduates and graduate students will find White Bound an excellent model for racial ethnography. It deserves a careful read by all scholars of race and social movements.\" -- Kathleen Blee * \u003ci\u003eSocial Forces\u003c\/i\u003e *\u003cbr\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eWhite Bound\u003c\/i\u003e is both fascinating and horrifying, and a useful contribution to the sociology of race.\" -- Terese Jonsson * \u003ci\u003eLondon School of Economics (LSE) Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e *\u003cbr\u003e\"This book brings a fresh and innovative perspective to the sociological analysis of whiteness . . . The key strength of this book is the simplicity and brilliance of the project design. The juxtaposition of these two apparently politically opposed organizations provides rich ethnographic material for Hughey to theorize and deconstruct the micro-politics that facilitates the meanings of whiteness and the reproduction of white hegemony. Without a doubt a further strength of this book is the richness and depth of the ethnography . . . [T]he merits of this book . . . are considerable.\" -- Katharine Tyler * Ethnic and Racial Studies *\u003cbr\u003e\"This provocative monograph challenges the taken-for-granted meanings, rules and expectations of whiteness that persist within the supposedly polar opposite white nationalist and anti-racist stances, developing a theory of white identity within a bifurcated political debate . . . The clever thesis blurs the boundaries between 'good whites' and 'bad whites', rendering the white reader intellectually stimulated.\" -- Kathy A.
