  • Working Against Racism from White Subject Positions: White Anti-Racism, New Abolitionism & Intersectional Anti-White Irish Diasporic Nationalism
    Working Against Racism from White Subject Positions: White Anti-Racism, New Abolitionism & Intersectional Anti-White Irish Diasporic Nationalism By Matthew W. Horton A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Education and the Designated Emphasis in Critical Theory in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Dr. Na’ilah Nasir, Chair Dr. Daniel Perlstein Dr. Keith Feldman Summer 2019 Working Against Racism from White Subject Positions 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.

  • US Senate Vacancies
    U.S. Senate Vacancies: Contemporary Developments and Perspectives ,name redacted, Specialist in American National Government January 12, 2018 Congressional Research Service 7-.... www.crs.gov R44781 Filling U.S. Senate Vacancies: Perspectives and Contemporary Developments Summary United States Senators serve a term of six years. Vacancies occur when an incumbent Senator leaves office prematurely for any reason; they may be caused by death or resignation of the incumbent, by expulsion or declination (refusal to serve), or by refusal of the Senate to seat a Senator-elect or -designate. Aside from the death or resignation of individual Senators, Senate vacancies often occur in connection with a change in presidential administrations, if an incumbent Senator is elected to executive office, or if a newly elected or reelected President nominates an incumbent Senator or Senators to serve in some executive branch position. The election of 2008 was noteworthy in that it led to four Senate vacancies as two Senators, Barack H. Obama of Illinois and Joseph R. Biden of Delaware, were elected President and Vice President, and two additional Senators, Hillary R. Clinton of New York and Ken Salazar of Colorado, were appointed Secretaries of State and the Interior, respectively. One Senate vacancy occurred in connection with the 2016 presidential election, when Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama resigned from the Senate on February 8, 2017, to accept the position of Attorney General of the United States. On February 9, the governor of Alabama appointed Luther Strange III, the state Attorney General to fill the vacancy. Senator Strange, who was sworn in the same day, held the office until a successor elected in a special election was sworn in.

  • How the Tide Could Turn Against Moore October 3, 2017
    Battle for Bama: How the Tide Could Turn Against Moore October 3, 2017 As you might have noticed, Alabama has become ground zero for the political universe. Like Montana and Georgia before it, operatives, press and pundits are falling on Alabama, assured that what happens in the Yellowhammer State will tell a greater story about our nation’s volatile political climate. Anzalone Liszt Grove is proud to have a national footprint with offices in Washington D.C., New York City, Chicago, Boston, and Honolulu. However, our home base has always been Montgomery, Alabama — currently led by Partners John Anzalone and Zac McCrary. We are not part of Democratic nominee Doug Jones’ campaign team, nor (as of this writing) have we conducted polling between Jones and his Republican opponent Roy Moore. Over the last decade, Alabama has become a virtual one-party state — and, of course, Doug Jones is the underdog in this Senate race, as any Democrat would be. However, we believe that the December special election features a dynamic with very unique candidates in a volatile political climate — and that Doug Jones has the opportunity to turn this into a genuinely competitive race. Here’s why: 1) Roy Moore is a weak general election candidate. You probably know Moore’s story: the twice de-frocked state Chief Justice whose offensive comments about the 9/11 attacks and against gays, Muslims, African Americans (just for starters) have made him something of a folk hero among elements of the political right.
