AllLivesMatter and BlueLivesMatter Material
Hello AoIR listservers, I'm working on a paper that talks about police violence against black men and women in the U.S. and the emergence of radical protests within the context of the U.S. Civil Sphere. An important part of this was the creation of BlackLivesMatter as a collective representation and mobilizing mechanisms, but also its reactionary groups of AllLivesMatter and BlueLivesMatter. I have a good amount of literature on BlackLivesMatter, but was wondering if anyone could suggest material on AllLivesMatter and/or BlueLivesMatter. Thank you, Stephen Ostertag Stephen F.

This is the best empirical study I've seen on #Alllivesmatter to date: https://arxiv.org/abs/1606.06820 Best, /DEEN On 5/17/2017 10:02 AM, Ostertag, Stephen F wrote:

Sounds like an interesting paper! Perhaps this is too tangential or unrelated to your conceptual/theoretical frame, but it seems to me that the discourse of AllLivesMatter and BlueLivesMatter groups aligns with Matthew Hughey's work on white identity construction, as well as Bonilla-Silva's four frames of color-blind racism, one of which is abstract liberalism: the use of liberal ideals to invoke equality in the abstract while ignoring historical disparities between dominant and minority peoples. So, these works aren't specifically about the two groups in question, but I think they powerfully light-up their operative ideologies. Hughey, Matthew W. 2010. “The (dis)similarities of white racial identities: the conceptual framework of ‘hegemonic whiteness.’” Ethnic and Racial Studies 33(8):1289-1309. Bonilla-Silva, Eduardo. 2002. “The Linguistics of Color-Blind Racism: How to Talk Nasty about Blacks without Sounding ‘Racist.’” Critical Sociology 28(1-2):41-64. Apologies is this isn't pertinent to the interests driving your research.
