At the same time, demographers have predicted the 'browning' of the nation's middle class-once considered a de facto 'white' category-over the next twenty years as the country becomes increasingly racially diverse. In this book, Joseph O. Jewell takes us back to the turn of the twentieth century to show how evidence of middle-class mobility among Black, Mexican American, and Chinese men generated both new anxieties and varieties of backlash among white populations. Blending cultural history and historical sociology, Jewell chronicles the continually evolving narratives that linked whiteness with middle-class mobility and middle-class manhood. In doing so, Jewell addresses a key issue in the historical sociology of race: how racialized groups demarcate, defend, and alter social positions in overlapping hierarchies of race, class, and gender. New racist narratives about non-white men occupying middle-class occupations emerged in cities across the nation at the turn of the century. These stories helped to shore up white supremacy in the face of far-reaching changes to the nation's racialized economic order"-- |cProvided by publisher. 650 0 Middle class |zUnited States. |=^A337366 650 0 Social mobility |zUnited States. |=^A54346 650 0 Minorities |zUnited States |xSocial conditions. |=^A383159 650 0 White supremacy (Social structure) |=^A1464719 651 0 United States |xRace relations |xHistory |y20th century. |=^A158902 651 0 United States |xRace relations |xHistory |y19th century. |=^A105048 650 7 SOCIAL SCIENCE / Race & Ethnic Relations. |2bisacsh 650 7 POLITICAL SCIENCE / History & Theory. |2bisacsh 650 7 Middle class. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01020437 650 7 Minorities |xSocial conditions. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01023228 650 7 Race relations. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01086509 650 7 Social mobility. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01122648 650 7 White supremacy (Social structure) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst02061496 651 7 United States. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204155 |?UNAUTHORIZED 648 7 1800-1999 |2fast 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 949 |i30372017709814 |ojjlm 960 |o1 |s29.95 |tJoyner48 |uJAPP |zUSD 596 1 998 6303152
