“…We also believe that political scientists can recognize that attitudes about race and their purpose have changed over time while still acknowledging that processes of dehumanization maintain continuities. For example, while widespread beliefs about innate or biological Black inferiority are no longer as common as they once were and are certainly no longer used to justify chattel slavery, we should not disregard the role that less-common but nevertheless prevalent dehumanizing beliefs about Blacks may serve today in how white people talk about Black athletes by comparing them to animals or supernatural creatures (Utych 2022), how whites justify police brutality and killings (Hutchings 2015), how critics of the Obamas compare them to apes (Bobo 2017), or how whites condemn the organized racial justice protests of the Black Lives Matter movement by likening Black people to animals (Kalmoe et al 2022).

The concept of racist dehumanization is essential for political scientists who seek to understand the nature, scope, and consequences of white racial prejudice in the United States today. Racist dehumanization consists of a variety of processes that construct, refashion, and maintain race by coding some people as white and therefore fully human and others as other than white and therefore less than fully human. In this review, we focus on the racist dehumanization of Indigenous people and Black people, arguing that processes of dehumanization have long been implicated in both the practice of race-making and concurrent efforts to exploit and dominate racialized groups. We posit that contemporary white racial prejudice can be understood, in part, as the residue of these processes, and we conclude by describing how accounting for racist dehumanization can transform the study of white racial prejudice.
