Beskrivning

Black Lives and Bathrooms: Racial and Gendered Reactions to Minority Rights Movements examines how people respond to minority movements in ways that maintain existing patterns of racial and gender inequality. By studying the Black Lives Matter and Transgender Bathroom Access movement efforts, J.E. Sumerau and Eric Anthony Grollman analyze how cisgender white people define minority movements in relation to their existing notions of United States social norms; react to minority movements utilizing racial, classed, gendered, and sexual stereotypes that reinforce racism, sexism, and cissexism in society; and propose ways that racial and gender minorities could gain conditional acceptance by behaving in ways cisgender white people find more comfortable and normal. Throughout this work, Sumerau and Grollman note how assumptions about whiteness and cisnormativity are spread as cisgender white people respond to racial and gender movements seeking social change.

Recensioner i media

A steady stream of media coverage, political pontificating, and Twitter commentary has made argumentative discourse about racism and transgender rights a part of the daily thrum of modern American life. Delving into the onslaught, the authors conducted research into the perspectives of a particular segment of the population: white, cisgender college students. . . this study represents an important step into opening up the fields of Black studies and transgender studies to learn how those "unaffiliated with [either of these] major social movements make sense of these movements." Based on interview questions that the authors helpfully provide, the book reduces more than 750 pages of transcripts to fewer than 100 pages of analysis and discussion. . . this will make a fine addition to a research-oriented program focused on social movements and could very well be the impetus for a much-needed national study open to wide-ranging demographics. Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students and faculty.
