This work would be more appealing to an academic or a researcher than to casual reader. But it is an excellent book, informative and very-well written. Political scientist Ashley Jardina explains how white identity has changed over the past several decades and how Donald Trump has unified different groups of white voters around his Presidency.

Some whites, argues Ashely Jardina, possess a strong sense of attachment to their racial group. When their group’s dominant position is secure, white’s racial identity is not especially politically consequential. But when “big events” in the political environment, such as the waves of immigrants from Eastern and Southern Europe in the 1920s which brought rapid demographic changes in the country, the events of the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s, and the election of Barack Obama, the first black president, in 2009, pose a threat to whites’ dominant status, while social solidarity becomes salient and political relevant, influencing whites’ political attitudes and behaviour. In other words, whites high on racial identity seek to preserve the racial hierarchy, and to protect the status quo.

White Identity Politics is a must read for students who wish to write about current issues in their thesis. It is also an interesting read for those engage in politics.
It was well put and informative, and short.
Too informative, IMO, that it ended up like some journals/reports I read instead of a book.

I was given an advanced reader’s copy in exchange for an honest review

Very academic breakdown of a prescient social ill, one many of us had hoped had died down until recently. If you are up for academic publishing it is a very thorough history, and knowledge everyone should have for the sake of the Republic
