New Perspectives on Race and Ethnicity seeks to address salient concerns and issues facing Black Americans in the USA during the Trump presidential era. Through a historical and contemporary lens from a diverse body of scholars, presented are principled works that critically analyze the relationship between President Trump and Black Americans. Starting on the Trump campaign trail to the 100-day marker of his presidency, the question that binds this book together is that of President Trump’s to Black Americans, “What the hell do you have to lose?” The answer is, “Everything!”The symbolic meaning behind Trump’s use of this racially explicit question is the impetus for the book. Our goal is to create dialogue and promote a greater understanding of the salient concerns and issues facing Black Americans. In chapters ranging in topic from Donald J. Trump’s rhetoric on the campaign trail to the thought of leaving for an alternate homeland, the authors share the belief that it is critical to offer new perspectives on race and ethnicity in the Trump presidential era.
