Two approaches to racism<br />
IX. Tilly: From opportunity hoarding to exploitation<br />
to opportunity hoarding<br />
a. state’s opportunity hoarding sets stage for<br />
exploitation<br />
i. “powerful, connected people command resources from which<br />
they draw … returns by coordinating the efforts of outsiders<br />
whom they exclude from the full value added by that<br />
effort” (Tilly, 10)<br />
ii. metropolitan - hinterland relation in which resources are<br />
extracted from the hinterland<br />
iii. working-class whites like the Boys benefit from settler colonial<br />
opportunity hoarding, but are exploited, & relatively powerless<br />
compared to the political and economic elite<br />
b. the Boys engage, wittingly or unwittingly, in informal<br />
opportunity hoarding “… a process of informal<br />
exclusion which insures that Natives do not learn of<br />
opportunities in areas such as employment …” (p. 120)<br />
