Question 1

What paradigm explaining race relations in the U.S.A. was initially linked to the civil rights movement but later conflicted with it by developing colorblind racial ideology?&#10;A) Class-based paradigm&#10;B) Nation-based paradigm&#10;C) Ethnicity-based paradigm .&#10;D) Racial formation paradigm&#10;E) Intersectionality paradigm

Accepted Answer

The ethnicity-based paradigm was initially linked to the civil rights movement but later conflicted with it by promoting a colorblind racial ideology, which downplays the significance of race and racial identity.

Question 2

Whatwere the important changes that Omi and Winant identify as new to U.S.racial politics during the &#34;Great Transformation&#34;?&#10;A) A paradigm shift and the rise of new social movements .&#10;B) Anti-colonialism and the demand for voting rights&#10;C) Black nationalism and black feminism&#10;D) The ethnicity paradigm and the class paradigm&#10;E) The support of national political figures such as Presidents Kennedy and Johnson

Accepted Answer

Omi and Winant argue that during the "Great Transformation," there was a paradigm shift in U.S. racial politics, with the rise of new social movements that challenged traditional notions of race and racial categories. They note the emergence of movements such as the Civil Rights Movement, Black Power Movement, and Chicano Movement, which sought to redefine racial identities and categories and demanded social and political equality. Thus, the most important change identified by Omi and Winant is the paradigm shift and the rise of new social movements.

Question 3

Which of the following people are associated with the &#34;black power&#34; movement in the 1960s?&#10;A) W.E.B. Du Bois&#10;B) Marcus Garvey&#10;C) Martin Luther King Jr.&#10;D) Malcolm X .&#10;E) Booker T. Washington

Accepted Answer

Malcolm X was a prominent figure in the "black power" movement in the 1960s. While W.E.B. Du Bois and Marcus Garvey were important figures in the early 20th century black liberation movements, they did not specifically advocate for "black power." Martin Luther King Jr. was more associated with the nonviolent civil rights movement, and while he did speak out against the Vietnam War and economic injustice, he did not use the term "black power" or advocate for separatism. Booker T. Washington was a prominent black leader in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, but he did not advocate for "black power" either.

Question 4

Some minority groups found that they wanted to challenge the current racial state from within by greater participation in existing political and economic structures in the U.S.A. Omi and Winant call this political strategy

A) Nationalism
B) Socialism
C) Radical black nationalism
D) Electoral/institutional entrism .
E) Racial reaction

Accepted Answer

Electoral/institutional entrism is the strategy of challenging existing racial structures by greater participation in existing political and economic structures in the U.S.A. This involves working within the system to bring about change, rather than outside of it. This strategy can involve running for political office or using institutional channels to push for policy changes.

Question 5

All of the following were the results of the &#34;Great Transformation&#34; in the U.S.A. except&#10;A) Rearticulating collective black subjectivity&#10;B) Dividing the black movement and its goals&#10;C) Eradicating the use of race as a master category of difference .&#10;D) Pushing for political actions against state-sanctioned segregation and discrimination&#10;E) Encouraging a new racial politics of identity for the U.S.A.

Accepted Answer

The "Great Transformation" in the U.S.A. was a period of significant changes in the political, social, and economic landscape of the country. One of the major outcomes of this transformation was the rearticulating of collective black subjectivity, which led to the formation of the civil rights movement and the push for political actions against state-sanctioned segregation and discrimination. However, this period did not eradicate the use of race as a master category of difference. In fact, it encouraged a new racial politics of identity for the U.S.A. and also divided the black movement and its goals. Therefore, option C, which states that the "Great Transformation" eradicated the use of race as a master category of difference is incorrect.

Question 6

Black power arose in the civil rights movement because&#10;A) Some blacks believed racial equality could be hastened through armed revolutionary struggle&#10;B) Some blacks wanted to address the continuing social problems of poverty and disenfranchisement that blacks faced even after civil rights legislation .&#10;C) Some blacks wanted faster integration of their communities in order to speed assimilation into white America&#10;D) Some blacks thought only black capitalism could create political power in the black community&#10;E) Some blacks believed that Christianity was holding back civil rights and wanted to link the black movement with Islam

Accepted Answer

Black power emerged as a response to the limited success of the civil rights movement in addressing the continuing social and economic issues faced by black Americans, such as poverty, unemployment, and political disenfranchisement. It emphasized the need for black self-determination and control over their own communities, rather than relying on predominantly white institutions and politicians. Some proponents of black power also believed in the necessity of armed resistance against racial oppression, but this was not a universal belief. Similarly, while some advocates of black power rejected Christianity as a tool of white oppression and turned to Islam, this was not a defining characteristic of the broader movement.

Question 7

Omi and Winant suggest that the first phase of the post-WWII encounter and reform of the racial state by minorities was characterized by&#10;A) The recognition that slavery had not ended&#10;B) Mass mobilization against southern segregation and discrimination .&#10;C) The rise of a racial reaction by white America against the black movement&#10;D) The creation of the black power identity among some black nationalists&#10;E) Blissful ignorance on the part of white America

Accepted Answer

Omi and Winant argue that the first phase of the post-WWII encounter and reform of the racial state by minorities was characterized by mass mobilization against southern segregation and discrimination, which is best captured by choice B. While the other options may have also been present during this time period, they were not the defining characteristic of this phase.

Question 8

Coming after the rise of the racial minority movements of the 1960s, the racial reaction to these movements&#10;A) Solidified the movements' purposes and goals in changing the racial state&#10;B) Encouraged cooperation between white and non-white coalitions to end racism&#10;C) Fragmented the movements' purposes and impeded their work of changing the racial state .&#10;D) Created a new era of racial despotism&#10;E) Represented a call to extend the ideology of black power

Accepted Answer

The racial reaction to the minority movements of the 1960s fragmented their purposes and impeded their work of changing the racial state. The backlash against these movements included a rise in conservative politics and policies, as well as increased resistance from those who sought to maintain the racial status quo. This made it difficult for the movements to make progress towards their goals and caused internal divisions within their ranks.

Question 9

What has been an enduring legacy of the &#34;Great Transformation&#34; and the black movement?&#10;A) Continuing legislation to end segregation and discrimination based on race&#10;B) A constant emphasis on black power and pride in American history&#10;C) The creation of a &#34;politics of identity&#34; .&#10;D) Resurgence in the support of nation-based explanations of racial differences&#10;E) The recognition of race as a religious and biological fact

Accepted Answer

The "Great Transformation" and the black movement have contributed to the creation of a "politics of identity," where race and other social identities play a significant role in political and social discourse.
