Own Goal Politics In The United States, Keally Mcbride

Journal of Interdisciplinary Perspectives and Scholarship

This essay explores the possibility that understanding how self-defeating racial political sentiments are in the United States will not necessarily change the public’s behavior. Drawing from the rich history of political thought, we can see that the desire for domination may be stronger than the drive for equality and/or freedom.

Reflecting On Heather Mcghee’S The Sum Of Us Through A South African Lens, Marthinus Van Loggerenberg

Journal of Interdisciplinary Perspectives and Scholarship

A South African native living in the USA explores and examines the essence of The Sum of Us by contemplating three post-Apartheid realizations in context of structural racism in the US: the illusion of being “born free”, the value of the philosophy of Ubuntu (“I am because we are”), and the role of respect in addressing racism. Ideas around shared narratives, reconciliation, mutual understanding, human value and freedom as something to be strived for, are denoted in relation to dismantling systemic racism for the sake of future generations in the US.

It’S Time To Dismantle The Zero-Sum Systems In Business Schools, Courtney Masterson

Dismantling The Zero-Sum Game To Co-Create A New Community With Solidarity Dividends And No Prisons, Daniela Dominguez

Journal of Interdisciplinary Perspectives and Scholarship

Heather McGee’s The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together (2021), provides a framework for understanding how racist ideologies and profit interests drive disadvantaged white individuals to reinforce the hegemony of white and wealthy Americans. This response paper ties McGee’s conceptualization of zero-sum thinking to the carceral space.

The Tension Of Accessible Services And A Living Wage, Lisa De La Rue

Journal of Interdisciplinary Perspectives and Scholarship

In her book The Sum of Us, McGhee discusses how laws and policies are a reflection of society’s dominant beliefs, and that in order to advance meaningful change we must shift these underlying beliefs. Society has long dismissed the importance of comprehensive mental health care. There are prevalent stigmas that see mental health concerns as a weakness, a moral failure, or something that only afflicts a small segment of the population. As McGhee describes, when society views a portion of the populace as inferior and undeserving, services are limited and denied. In regards to mental health care, this denial of …

The Border Is Their Public Swimming Pool, Genevieve Negrón-Gonzales

Journal of Interdisciplinary Perspectives and Scholarship

This article extends the metaphor at the heart of The Sum of Us - the decline of the public swimming pool in the U.S. - to discuss the political landscape of the US-Mexico border. The author argues that anti-immigrant whites residing on the border are so invested in white supremacy that they subscribe to an anti-immigrant politic that does not serve them. The article calls attention to society’s collective investment in white supremacy by highlighting the cost of this investment on migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border.

The Dilemma Of The Sum Of Us, James Taylor

Journal of Interdisciplinary Perspectives and Scholarship

In this essay, James Taylor raises many questions about the familiarity of McGhee’s work as well as its reception in the public. In his essay, The Dilemma of The Sum of Us, Taylor ponders why McGhee’s work is so widely embraced and critically acclaimed when there have been many researchers and writers who have shared similar arguments before. His analysis covers works by Gunnar Myrdal among others and he explores how mainstream writers often succeed through “intellectual appeals to white liberal sentimentality”.

The essays span different settings - from the Arizona-Mexico border, to the US prison system - to different opinions …

Chasing The American Dream, In Neoliberal Times, James Zarsadiaz

Journal of Interdisciplinary Perspectives and Scholarship

Heather McGhee’s The Sum of Us delves into the ways in which structural racism, discriminatory policies, and everyday bigotry shaped American life, particularly with basic needs like housing. Ultimately, neoliberalism and its supporters played a key role in creating or exacerbating inequalities/inequities. This essay argues that besides white supremacy, neoliberalism is at the core of McGhee’s set of concerns.

Voter Suppression Undermines Public Health For All, Erin Grinshteyn, Laura Chyu, Roman Pabayo

Journal of Interdisciplinary Perspectives and Scholarship

In the US, policies have actively suppressed the voices of Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) while amplifying their oppressors’ voices. In spite of multiple constitutional amendments to guarantee access to the right to vote for those who initially were deprived of this right, attacks on this civil liberty have persisted. While some states have expanded access to voting rights in the past year, many others have made voting more difficult and some states have had a mixed approach of making voting easier in some ways and harder in others. This continued interest in creating systems in which it …

What Us?, Amanda Parris

Journal of Interdisciplinary Perspectives and Scholarship

McGhee (2021) concludes the introduction to The Sum of Us by declaring that she is “fundamentally a hopeful person, because [she knows] that decisions made the world as it is and that better decisions can change it” (p. xxiii). In this brief response I want to take on two problematic aspects of McGhee’s declaration, her hope and her voluntarism. I use an Afropessimistic lens so that we might, as Frank B. Wilderson III (2020) urges, make some of McGhee’s book “more dangerous to the U.S. and the world” (p. 250).

Drug Policy And Our Self-Inflicted Harm, Deborah Ahrens

Journal of Interdisciplinary Perspectives and Scholarship

The failure of American politics to appropriately address the harms of substance use and substance use disorders reflects “a bitter cost of the white majority’s willingness to accept the suffering of others" (McGhee p. 47) and the ways in which that willingness also harms white people is an additional cost we bear.

Racism And Stress: How A Zero Sum Approach Harms The Sum Of Us, Laura Chyu, Erin Grinshteyn

Journal of Interdisciplinary Perspectives and Scholarship

Experiencing racism is a pervasive and persistent stressor that not only negatively impacts the health of people of color (POC), but all members of a population, including Whites. This essay discusses how experiencing racism over a lifetime may cause wear and tear on the body and increase risk for premature disease, disability, and death. The authors explore how racial capitalism has created a deeply flawed economic system that exploits POC and foments hostility among working-class whites towards POC. Blue collar workers of all races currently suffer from economic misery and social malaise. Recent alarming trends of increases in death rates …

The Stumped Of Us: Why Teach Rhetoric In The Face Of Racism?, Jonathan Hunt

Journal of Interdisciplinary Perspectives and Scholarship

Heather McGhee’s book presents a deeply ambivalent portrait of Rhetoric as a field of study. Her own optimistic faith in research, evidence, and truth-telling is countered by endless examples of the failure of rational, ethical persuasion in the face of racism and greed. This ambivalence raises existential questions for rhetorical curricula in higher education.
