The resurgent white supremacy and radical rights politics that has spread across the globe is nothing short of astounding. While the agendas may go by different names—alt-right, extremist, white supremacist, conservative geographies, national-conservative party amongst others—the political discourses and material practices that catalyze white fears are remarkably similar. This paper session (or sessions) seeks papers that examine the ways these political movements politicize whiteness, whether implicitly or explicitly, and continue to advance white supremacist interests. We seek papers that examine the multiple scales at which whiteness is politicized and theoretical and empirical examinations that help to make sense of this moment. Finally, we seek a set of papers that synergizes the work of a diverse set of scholars who are working on different elements of the topic to provide a broad overview.
