  Dogwhistles and Figleaves - How...

  It is widely accepted that political discourse in recent years has become more openly racist and more accepting of wildly implausible conspiracy theories. Dogwhistles and Figleaves explores ways in which such changes—both of which defied previously settled norms of political speech—have been brought about. Jennifer Saul shows that two linguistic devices, dogwhistles and figleaves, have played a crucial role. Some dogwhistles (such as "88", used by Nazis online to mean "Heil Hitler") serve to disguise messages that would otherwise be rejected as unacceptable, allowing them to be transmitted surreptitiously. Other dogwhistles (like the 1988 "Willie Horton" ad) work by influencing people in ways that they are not aware of, and which they would likely reject were they aware. Figleaves (such as "just asking questions") take messages that could easily be recognized as unacceptable, and provide just enough cover that people become more willing to accept them. Saul argues that these devices are important for the spread of racist discourse. She also shows how they contribute to the transmission of norm-violating discourse more generally, focusing on the case of wildly implausible conspiracist speech. This book is the first full-length exploration of dogwhistles and figleaves. It offers an illuminating and disturbing view of the workings of contemporary political discourse.

  The Fallacies of Racism -...

  Everyone has an opinion on racism. The vast majority of people would vehemently deny that they or those close to them are "racist," yet many of the most common understandings of racism are highly problematic. "If you mean no harm, then it can't be racist." Yes, it can. "There are anti-discrimination laws now, so racism no longer occurs." Incorrect. "Some of my best friends are Black, so I can't be racist." Not true. 
   
   
    
  In this sharp, open-minded, and witty book, sociologist Jennifer Patrice Sims succinctly addresses these problematic perceptions of racism as fallacies. Building on existing academic theories and drawing on her own cross-national research, two decades of teaching, and analyses of contemporary issues, she delves into the most common and insidious fallacies about racism. In revealing them to be rooted in what scholars call an "epistemology of ignorance," she shows how these perceptions justify and uphold white supremacy (inadvertently or otherwise). 
   
   
   
  Accessibly written and full of concrete examples, this book will be of great value to anyone who wants to understand the common misunderstandings about racism that frustrate contemporary politics, classrooms, workplaces, and dinner tables.

  How to Recognize Toxic Cultural...

  [How to Recognize Toxic Cultural Norms] unravels the invisible threads that bind us to societal expectations, examining with unflinching clarity the ways we've normalized our own diminishment. Through lyrical prose that moves like morning light across familiar surfaces, this revolutionary text illuminates the subtle violences we've accepted as natural – from the reflexive smiles we offer when we'd rather not smile, to the constant internal calibration of whether we're being too much or not enough. The book delves deep into the architecture of our conditioning, revealing how cultural norms operate like gravity, invisibly shaping the trajectory of our movements through the world, while offering a compassionate framework for recognition and resistance. Drawing on intimate observations of how these patterns manifest in our bodies, relationships, and daily choices, it transforms personal awakening into collective possibility, showing how the simple act of questioning inherited wisdom becomes a radical reclamation of human authenticity.
