Abstract

Political observers have expressed concern about the failure of some Americans to uphold democratic principles. We argue that support for antidemocratic authoritarian governance is associated with some whites’ psychological attachment to their racial group and a desire to maintain their group’s power and status in the face of multiracial democracy. Drawing on historical work, we posit that whites’ efforts to restrict democracy are deeply rooted in America’s past; and we present empirical analysis demonstrating that today, whites with higher levels of racial solidarity are notably more supportive of authoritarian leadership than whites who do not possess a racial group consciousness.

白人种族团结与反对美国民主

政治观察人士对一些美国人未能坚持民主原则表示担忧。我们认为，对反民主专制统治的支持与一些白人对其种族群体的心理依恋以及在面对多种族民主时保持其群体权力和地位的愿望有关。根据历史研究，我们认为白人限制民主的努力深深植根于美国的过去;我们提出的实证分析表明，今天，与没有种族群体意识的白人相比，种族团结程度较高的白人明显更支持威权领导。
