In 2021 we face new challenges such as navigating life during the COVID-19 pandemic and trying to figure out if our lives will ever resume the way things were prior to the pandemic. And the fight for racial and social justice continues as we hear new stories of police brutality against black and brown folx; more anti-immigration rhetoric from mostly right-wing politicians but generally across the board; and whitelash against perceptions of a changing tide that would presumably alter the status quo capitalist, patriarchal, white supremacy society in which we reside. In the midst of all of this, new ways of invoking the amorphous and ambiguous terms of diversity and inclusion have been produced at all levels of society. For example, we continue to hear more discussions in higher education and other institutions about the need and importance of diversity without ever discussing what that diversity is. Further, on the other end of the spectrum, we have seen political attacks on diversity such as a 2020 presidential executive order banning diversity training from transpiring in anything Federal government related. Of course, the latter is dangerous. However, I have argued elsewhere that superficial rhetoric on diversity is equally dangerous as it fuels hope without substance. This book series interrogates how widespread and perverse diversity ideology has become in our society. The first two books in this series—The Death of Affirmative Action? Racialized Framing and the Fight Against Racial Preference in College Admissions (2020) by J. Scott Carter and Cameron D. Lippard, and Beer and Racism: How Beer Became White, Why It Matters, and the Movement to Change It (2020) by Nathaniel G. Chapman and David L. Brunsma—open up readers’ eyes to the sociological realities of policies, institutions, and culture. In the first book the authors contend that the persistent fight against affirmative action in the US has become a rallying cry for conservatives to maintain the status quo; the idea behind the fight is that we have become a post-racial society and affirmative action policies and practices are essentially anti-white. In Chapman and Brunsma's book, the authors argue that in order to truly understand the beer industry, and particularly the fast-growing craft beer industry, one must understand its roots in whiteness and white supremacy—that whiteness and racism have operated and continues to operate in all aspects of the beer industry.
