Summary of Kathleen Belew & Ramon A. Gutierrez's A Field Guide to White Supremacy

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Two new concepts that focus on the origins, legacies, and persistence of white supremacy in the United States and other settler societies have emerged in the last few decades. They are settler colonialism, which documents the contact and colonization by a nation that wishes to populate the encountered land, and racial capitalism, which describes the intertwined history of capitalism and white supremacy.

#2 The history of American history relies on two racial dichotomies: white/Black and white/nonwhite. These distinctions have been used to tell the story of African slavery and colonial territorial expansion.

#3 Racial capitalism is a term used to describe the historical link between the government, white supremacy, and the economy.

#4 There are many essays in this book that examine the history of racism in America, from the Dawes Act of 1887 that allowed the government to take land from the Oneida Nation to the present day where Muslims are still being denied citizenship.
