Is racism something we learn as children, or is it a result of certain social groups striving to maintain their privileged positions in society? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eRacialized Politics\u003c\/i\u003e, political scientists, sociologists, and psychologists explore the current debate surrounding the sources of racism in America. Published here for the first time, the essays represent three major approaches to the topic. The social psychological approach maintains that prejudice socialized early in life feeds racial stereotypes, while the social structural viewpoint argues that behavior is shaped by whites' fear of losing their privileged status. The third perspective looks to non-racially inspired ideology, including attitudes about the size and role of government, as the reason for opposition to policies such as affirmative action. Timely and important, this collection provides a state-of-the-field assessment of the current issues and findings on the role of racism in mass politics and public opinion. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eContributors are Lawrence Bobo, Gretchen C.
