Revealing Britain\u2019s Systemic Racism<\/em> applies an existing scholarly paradigm (systemic racism<\/a> and the white racial frame<\/a>) to assess the implications of Markle\u2019s<\/a> entry and place in the British royal family<\/a>, including an analysis that bears on visual and material culture. The white racial frame, as it manifests in the UK<\/a>, represents an important lens through which to map and examine contemporary racism and related inequities. By questioning the long-held, but largely anecdotal, beliefs about racial progressiveness in the UK, the authors provide an original counter-narrative about how Markle\u2019s experiences as a biracial member of the royal family can help illumine contemporary forms of racism in Britain. Revealing Britain\u2019s Systemic Racism identifies and documents the plethora of ways systemic racism continues to shape ecological spaces in the UK. Kimberley Ducey and Joe R. Feagin challenge romanticized notions of racial inclusivity by applying Feagin\u2019s long-established work, aiming to make a unique and significant contribution to literature in sociology and in various other disciplines.<\/p>\n
