Associations between historical redlining and BMI: Potential indirect pathways through neighborhood socioeconomic and environment factors and their associated lifestyle behaviors in Cardia
It is unknown whether living in neighborhoods historically rated as "high-risk" mortgage by lenders (i.e., "redlining") defined by maps of the Home Owners' Loan Corporation (HOLC) neighborhood ratings may associate with obesity through neighborhood factors and health behaviors, or how such associations might differ by race and gender. We used data from the 1985-86 Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) study to test whether ret…
Les Blancs sont des fouineurs, les Noirs sont mal élevés: Salutations et présentation de soi dans les conversations interraciales
Soutenant que les différences raciales reposent sur des manières tacites d'agir devenues des formes institutionnalisées d'interaction, cet article insiste sur la nécessité de développer une nouvelle façon d'appréhender la race et le racisme. Elle consiste à déplacer l'attention, depuis les macrostructures qui produisent et reproduisent les inégalités, et leurs manifestations individuelles (conscientes ou inconscientes), vers les attentes ancrées …

Racisme tacite et fantasme de la blanchité
En proposant de décrire le racisme tacite dans cet article, les auteurs abordent les contextes sociaux conflictuels de l'Amérique noire et de l'Amérique blanche par le biais des attentes tacites en matière d'interaction qu'ils expriment. Ces attentes sont si différentes, voire opposées, qu'elles entravent souvent la communication, le travail de reconnaissance des identités entre les races. Sans la capacité de communiquer et de « voir » l'Autre ra…
Why we should stop using the term “Black-on-Black crime”: An analysis across disciplines
Official statistics document that the majority of all crime committed in the U.S. is intra-racial. Only crimes involving victims and offenders of Black racial identity have been assigned an explicitly racialized label. Drawing on work from multiple disciplines, this paper traces the historical origins of racialized crime statistics. It examines how official statistics are manipulated, through racial disproportionality analysis, to mask the amount…
Tacit Racism
Cosmopolitan Canopy
Elijah Anderson describes the “cosmopolitan canopy” as a venue where people from diverse backgrounds set aside their own racial and ethnic identities, as well as those of others, to communicate in more civil and cosmopolitan ways in urban public spaces. According to Anderson, cosmopolitan canopies offer a respite from the tensions of urban life and an opportunity for diverse peoples to come together. Under the canopy, people engage in what Anders…
Problems Establishing Identity/Residency in a City Neighborhood during a Black/White Police–Citizen Encounter: Reprising Du Bois’ Conception of Submission as “Submissive Civility”
This article revisits W.E.B. Du Bois' (1943) conception of “The Submissive Man” in the context of a Black/White police–citizen encounter. Du Bois argued that submission to democratic principles that place the well–being of the whole over the individual is a Black American ideal, which offers a necessary counter–balance to the individualism of the dominant White “Strong Man” ideal. We contrast this preference for “submission” and “cooperation” in …
The Complex Dynamics of Trust and Legitimacy: Understanding Interactions between the Police and Poor Black Neighborhood Residents
This article demonstrates how various forms of surveillance can lead to coping strategies that are corrosive of trust and legitimacy between black neighborhood residents and law enforcement. This article introduces the coping strategy of submissive civility as a method of self-preservation enacted in social situations where power relations are asymmetrical and the dominant party can administer sanctions. Reporting on an ethnographic study of resi…

Fractured Reflections” of High-Status Black Male Presentations of Self: Nonrecognition of Identity as a “Tacit” Form of Institutional Racism
This article examines the effects of “tacit” expectations about race, which are institutionalized in an Interaction Order that frames how we “see” high-status occupational identity. There is an essential moment in presenting Self before Other(s) when it is the turn of the Other(s) to recognize, respond to, and ratify that presentation. The Self is a social accomplishment that requires mutual cooperation from others. Failure to recognize and ratif…
