American Blindspot: Race, Class, Religion, and the Trump Presidency is a careful exploration of the forces that led to the election of the 45th president of the United States.Author Gerardo Martí synthesizes the latest scholarship and historical research to examine the roles that race, class, and religion have played in politics—both historically and today. This book goes beyond the initial claims that the American working class was the force behind Donald Trump’s election or policies and instead offers a nuanced perspective on how race, religion, and class have shaped our national views, Trump’s election, and his policies.

Winner of the Working-Class Studies Association C.L.R. James Award Seen as a pioneering figure in the critical study of whiteness, US historian David Roediger has sometimes received criticism, and praise, alleging that he left Marxism behind in order to work on questions of identity. This volume collects his recent and new work implicitly and explicitly challenging such a view. In his historical studies of the intersections of race, settler colonialism, and slavery, in his major essay (with Elizabeth Esch) on race and the management of labor, in his detailing of the origins of critical studies of whiteness within Marxism, and in his reflections on the history of solidarity, Roediger argues that racial division is part of not only of the history of capitalism but also of the logic of capital.

Racial discrimination embodies inequality, exclusion, and injustice and as such has no place in a democratic society. And yet racial matters pervade nearly every aspect of American life, influencing where we live, what schools we attend, the friends we make, the votes we cast, the opportunities we enjoy, and even the television shows we watch. Joel Olson contends that, given the history of slavery and segregation in the United States, American citizenship is a form of racial privilege in which whites are equal to each other but superior to everyone else. In Olson's analysis we see how the tension in this equation produces a passive form of democracy that discourages extensive participation in politics because it treats citizenship as an identity to possess rather than as a source of empowerment. Olson traces this tension and its disenfranchising effects from the colonial era to our own, demonstrating how, after the civil rights movement, whiteness has become less a form of standing and more a norm that cements while advantages in the ordinary operations of modern society. To break this pattern, Olson suggests an "abolitionist-democratic" political theory that makes the fight against racial discrimination a prerequisite for expanding democratic participation.

"Based on two years of ethnographic fieldwork at a megachurch, sociologist Sarah Diefendorf investigates the ways in which evangelicals are working to grow as an institution during a time of cultural shifts that are leading young people to leave the faith. In order to grow, the church needs to reapproach topics long understood as external threats to the organization, such as feminism, gender equality, racial inclusivity, and queerness-topics that Diefendorf classifies as the "imagined secular" in the mind of evangelicals. She finds that the church's ways of reworking their messages to appear more welcoming still uphold already privileged identities"--

The intersection of theistic religion and politics sparks continued controversy, particularly when addressing complex social issues like immigration. When religious ideologies influence political decisions, they can lead to policies that are less informed by empirical evidence and more driven by doctrinal beliefs. The consequences are not only detrimental to the integrity of policymaking but also to the well-being of communities affected by such policies. Critical examination of the impacts of theistic religion on political discourse and immigration is necessary to advocate for improved, evidence-based approaches to policymaking. Detriments of Theistic Religion in Politics and Its Effect on the Immigration Problem explores the effects of religious influences in government policies related to immigration. Aspects of theology, ethics, and morality related to policy and law creation are explored, along with effective solutions to solve issues of immigration in the Unites States. This book covers topics such as theology, ethics and morality, and political science, and is a useful resource for politicians, policymakers, government officials, economists, religious organizations, business owners, academicians, researchers, and scientists.
