This is a pathbreaking history of the development of scientific racism, white nationalism, and segregationist philanthropy in the U.S. and South Africa in the early twentieth century, Waste of a White Skin focuses on the American Carnegie Corporation's study of race in South Africa, the Poor White Study, and its influence on the creation of apartheid. This book demonstrates the ways in which U.S. elites supported apartheid and Afrikaner Nationalism in the critical period prior to 1948 through philanthropic interventions and shaping scholarly knowledge production. Rather than comparing racial democracies and their engagement with scientific racism, Willoughby-Herard outlines the ways in which a racial regime of global whiteness constitutes domestic racial policies and in part animates black consciousness in seemingly disparate and discontinuous racial democracies. This book uses key paradigms in black political thought black feminism, black internationalism, and the black radical tradition to provide a rich account of poverty and work.Much of the scholarship on whiteness in South Africa overlooks the complex politics of white poverty and what they mean for the making of black political action and black people's presence in the economic system. Ideal for students, scholars, and interested readers in areas related to U.S. History, African History, World History, Diaspora Studies, Race and Ethnicity, Sociology, Anthropology, and Political Science.

This book delves into the past and present of South African liberation movements, exploring how they intertwine movement theory and practice rooted in diaspora experiences, cultural production, anti-apartheid activism, and transnational solidarity.Authored by individuals deeply connected to the liberation struggle, many contributors have been mentored by anti-apartheid activists and exiles, while others were pivotal figures in the global anti-apartheid movement themselves. This volume uncovers untold histories of exile, shedding light on how exiles and diaspora communities developed innovative approaches to liberation struggles. These approaches relied on embodied forms of communication that inspired subsequent generations of activists. From community radio, underground media, and broadcast communications to the creation of music productions, record labels, memoirs, sermons, intimate family storytelling, and survival programs, these efforts forged new pathways for resistance and solidarity. The authors reflect on their political awakenings and consciousness-raising journeys, sharing deeply personal narratives of being drawn to this work. Grounded in the Black feminist principle that “the personal is political,” this collection is anti-colonial not only in its subject matter but also in its methodology—examining complex topics through introspective and personal lenses.An invaluable resource for scholars, students, and researchers, this book is ideal for those interested in African studies, South African politics and development, ethnic studies, and critical race studies.The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Third World Thematics.

Domestic and international health activism and health policy are focal points in this volume, a publication of the National Conference of Black Political Scientists. This work demonstrates the continuing importance of the "medical civil rights movement," through examples of activism of women of colour in AIDS service organizations, of their health issues, and of the struggle for racial equity in health care in Brazil.Spikes in police and vigilante violence, as well as fear of a reversion to resegregated schools have brought a new urgency to black political activism. The contributors explore the effect of race on American attitudes toward immigration policy and reform, black state legislators and American morality politics, the historically disproportionate influence of Southern whites in American politics, and the undermining of school desegregation laws with "nullification" strategies. The volume's Trends section features conversations on the #BlackLivesMatter movement in Los Angeles, the 2016 presidential election, and examines the teaching of the Trayvon Martin story at the University of California, Irvine. The volume also includes a diverse selection of book reviews.
