    Working Against Racism from White Subject Positions: White Anti-Racism, New Abolitionism & Intersectional Anti-White Irish Diasporic Nationalism By Matthew W.

Horton 2019 ABSTRACT Working Against Racism from White Subject Positions: White Anti-Racism, New Abolitionism & Intersectional Anti-White Irish Diasporic Nationalism by Matthew W. Horton Doctor of Philosophy in Education and the Designated Emphasis in Critical Theory University of California, Berkeley Professor Na’ilah Nasir, Chair This dissertation is an intervention into Critical Whiteness Studies, an ‘additional movement’ to Ethnic Studies and Critical Race Theory. It systematically analyzes key contradictions in working against racism from a white subject positions under post-Civil Rights Movement liberal color-blind white hegemony and "Black Power" counter-hegemony through a critical assessment of two major competing projects in theory and practice: white anti-racism [Part 1] and New Abolitionism [Part 2]. I argue that while white anti-racism is eminently practical, its efforts to hegemonically rearticulate white are overly optimistic, tend toward renaturalizing whiteness, and are problematically dependent on collaboration with people of color. I further argue that while New Abolitionism has popularized and advanced an alternative approach to whiteness which understands whiteness as ‘nothing but oppressive and false’ and seeks to ‘abolish the white race’, its ultimately class-centered conceptualization of race and idealization of militant nonconformity has failed to realize effective practice.

This thesis aims to explore the creation of an automated system to identify tweets and tweeters, and at the same time gain a theoretical understanding of the tweets. To do this a mixed methods approach was employed: ma- chine learning was utilised to identify racist tweets and tweeters, and grounded theory and other qualitative techniques were used to gain an understanding of the tweets’ content.

Humphrey. THE GATHERING STORM: THE ROLE OF WHITE NATIONALISM IN U.S. POLITICS GENIE A. DONLEY ABSTRACT White nationalism has played a critical role in shaping United States politics for over 150 years. Since the Reconstruction era, whites have fought to maintain their power and superiority over minorities. They influenced U.S. politics by attempting, and in some cases succeeding, to prevent minorities from voting. Moreover, politicians began to help them. This became most evident in the 2016 U.S. presidential election when Republican Donald J. Trump appealed to racist white voters, gained their support, and won the election. Those voters, who united as the Alt-Right, supported Trump because he appealed to them by playing on their fear of becoming a minority in their country. This thesis traces white nationalism back to Reconstruction. It analyzes the memberships of separate groups such as the Ku Klux Klan, Neo-Confederates, and Citizens’ Councils to show how and why those various groups united as the Alt-Right to support Trump in the 2016 election.

    Copyright by Qiuana La’teese Lopez 2012 The Dissertation Committee for Qiuana La’teese Lopez Certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: White Bodies, Black Voices: The Linguistic Construction of Racialized Authenticity in US Film Committee: Patience Epps, Supervisor Lars Hinrichs, Co-Supervisor John Beavers Elaine Chun Megan Crowhurst Lisa Green Sonja Lanehart White Bodies, Black Voices: The Linguistic Construction of Racialized Authenticity in US Film by Qiuana La’teese Lopez, A.A.; B.A.; M.A. Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin May 2012 Dedication For my mom who always believed in me. Rest in Peace. Acknowledgements I would like to begin by thanking the many (and I do mean many) members of my committee for helping me through what someone once called the first unofficial book of my academic career. I first thank Lisa Green who inspired me to start studying black speech. Her book, African American English: A Linguistic Introduction, which I used in the first class I designed and taught, is what started me on this journey. The chapter on African American English in the media encouraged me to look further into the uses of black speech by white characters. I also thank Sonja Lanehart who began to mentor me once Lisa moved to another state. Without her willingness to read rough drafts of conference papers and to travel in order to meet with me at restaurants in between Austin and San Antonio my progress on this project would have stagnated.

Introduction As part of a broader inquiry into the cultural and historical formation of language ideologies (e.g., Bauman and Briggs, 2003; Kroskrity, 2000; Schieffelin et al., 1998), linguistic anthropologists have been increasingly concerned with the question of how ideologies and technologies of the voice emerged as defining tools of modernity. This process depended heavily on the affordances of mediatization, as shown by scholars examining how the late-19th-century development of phonographic recordings (Bauman and Feaster, 2005; Weidman, 2006), and the transition from silent to sound film (Taylor, 2009), among other innovations, enabled the consolidation of new social subjectivities via new ideologies linking voices to bodies.
