Did you know that @ProfCandis dropped three books this year? (She now has FOUR books & is still technically an assistant professor!) This is a short thread about her new books because they are all now available or on pre order (and they are all awesome). amazon.com/Candis-Watts-S…
First up, Stay Woke: a People’s Guide to Making All Black Lives Matter. This is a short book with Tehama Lopez Bunyasi that explains concepts like racism, racial inequality, and anti racism. It’s a book that encourages social justice activism. amazon.com/Stay-Woke-Peop…
This book isn’t available until Sept but you should still assign it for your REP class. It is culturally relevant, timely, cheap ($19) & targeted to undergrads. They even had a 22yo come to the book talk to point out concepts, outdated refs she didn’t get. amazon.com/Stay-Woke-Peop…
She also published Racial Stasis: The Millennial Generation and the Stagnation of Racial Attitudes with @drdesante. It is a MUST READ for anyone studying racial resentment. amazon.com/Racial-Stasis-…
Basically, our old ways of thinking about and measuring racial resentment are outdated and don’t work for millennials. They have a new, more powerful measure called FIRE. 🔥(You might have seen their questions on the CCES.) amazon.com/Racial-Stasis-…
She ALSO published this edited volume with @Dr_CMGreer on the effects of immigration, suburbanization & gentrification on black politics. One of my fav things about this book is they went out of their way to get chapters written by junior women. amazon.com/Politics-Trans…
At the same time she did all this, she somehow didn’t neglect her other coauthors (like me). In sum, queen.
