It’s no secret that America is divided across partisan and racial lines.
But a new, nationwide survey of white and Black Americans from the University of Illinois at Chicago illustrates just how deep some of those divisions are, highlighting how differently some people think about what it means to be a good American and how people see the role of guns and violence in political life.
Thanks to our sponsors:
“We know already from existing research that a significant portion of the American electorate understands … what it means to be a true American in one of two distinct ways,” said Alexandra Filindra, associate professor of political science at UIC and the study’s lead author. “(Some) valorize as American being Christian, being white, being born in the U.S. (Others) valorize activity on behalf of the American public, being active in the community, voting, participating. Those are distinct kinds of people.”
