What Makes a Reparation Successful? A Discussion to Inform Design of Reparations to Black Americans
Reparations policies that seek to make amends for a harm incurred face exigent challenges. In this article we focus on what makes reparations successful and what policy components are necessary, if not sufficient, for success. To study the success of reparations policy design we employ a case study approach. Our analysis investigates the motivation, design, implementation, and impact of past policies to understand what has been successful or unsu…

Black Middle Class in the Post‐Civil Rights Era
In the United States, middle‐class status is often associated with improved opportunities and life circumstances.

Middle‐class African Americans may navigate a number of important issues including persistent racism and discrimination, limited access to financial resources, fragile neighborhood circumstances, and disproportionate…
African Americans respond to stigmatization: The Meanings and Salience of Confronting, Deflecting Conflict, Educating the Ignorant and ‘Managing the Self
Drawing on interviews with 150 randomly sampled African Americans, we analyse how members of a stigmatized group understand their experience of stigmatization and assess appropriate responses when asked about the best approach to deal with stigmatization and about responses to specific incidents. Combining in-depth interviews with a systematic coding of the data, we make original contributions to the previous literature by identifying the relativ…

We draw upon 45 in-depth interviews with middle-class African Americans following the 2008 election to explore how they explain persistent disadvantage for African Americans, the destigmatization strategies they employ, and the impact they believe the election of Barack Obama will have on opportunities for African …
