This week’s Race + Power newsletter looks at the ways in which white supremacy is upheld. Our first article by Anastasia Tomkin reviews the latest work of Georgetown law professor Sheryll Cashin, who explores opportunity hoarding and segregation. The second by Anne Price and Jhumpa Bhattacharya looks at how this is replicated in philanthropy, resulting in white-led nonprofit receiving most philanthropic dollars, including for racial equity work. From our archives, we offer “The Nonprofit Sector as White Space,” by Cyndi Suarez, which digs into Yale Sociology professor Elijah Anderson’s classic “The White Space.” Finally, we offer another from our archive, “Imagery and Authenticity,” which explores a mailer from a recent political campaign to show how whiteness shows up in political images.
