America’s New Racial Battle Lines and the Second Trump Administration

Rogers M. Smith charts the debate on US federal policy and the constituents it seeks to appease, investigating how it has fundamentally changed in recent years. Drawing on interviews with activists, surveys, social network analyses, and reviews of federal, state, and local policies, Smith maps the memberships and goals of two rival racial policy alliances and contrasts the rhetoric and framework used to advance their goals. Disputes over colorblind versus race-conscious policies have given way to new lines of conflict. Today’s conservatives promise to protect traditionalist, predominantly white, Christian Americans against what they call the “radical” Left, who seek to repair the US state, so that it may serve all. This event was presented in collaboration with the Center for the Humanities at UW-Madison. Rogers M. Smith is the Christopher H. Browne Distinguished Emeritus Professor of Political Science at the University of Pennsylvania. He is the author or co-author of many articles and nine books, most recently America’s New Racial Battle Lines: Protect versus Repair (2024) with Desmond King. His book Civic Ideals: Conflicting Visions of Citizenship in U.S. History, was a Finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in History. He is a Fellow of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the American Philosophical Society, and a former president of the American Political Science Association.
