Reviews
""A thorough and powerful mapping of the ways the millennial generation is thinking about and engaging with racial ideas in a qualitatively different way. DeSante and Smith not only show scholars how ill-suited old measures of racial attitudes are to the racial grammar of new generations, they develop and test a new measure for our era. Original, bold, convincing, and timely, Racial Stasis is an important book.""--Vesla Weaver, Johns Hopkins University ""The time is right for Racial Stasis. The optimism placed on White millennials for their alleged capacity to be free from racial in-group/out-group thinking is unrealistic, and we are due for a reevaluation of our reliance on racial resentment as our central measure of racial attitudes. DeSante and Smith provide a valuable addition to the literature that will surely spark debate about how we conceive of and measure racial attitudes and how we assess the role they play in shaping political preferences today.""--Deborah Schildkraut, Tufts University
