Race and Hegemony

The Neoliberal Transformation of the Black Urban Regime and Working-Class Resistance

Tulane University

A central locus of social scientific research throughout the past two decades has been the reorganization of capitalist control within various institutions and societies in the post-Fordist era. This study examines the process within the context of a majority Black city in the United States. Drawing on the theory of hegemony and the Black urban regime, the author examines the mix of consensual and authoritarian practices the regime employs to impose the neoliberal agenda. Findings suggest that regime elites, in lieu of any real material con-cessions, are increasingly relying on authoritarian and ideological forms of control.

Key Words: Black urban regime • hegemony • neoliberalism • social structure of accumulation • ideological state apparatuses
