This revealing book explores the processes of racialization, class
and gender, and examines how these processes play out in the
everyday lives of white women living in London with young children.
Bridget Byrne analyzes the flexibility of racialized discourse in
everyday life, whilst simultaneously arguing for a radical
deconstruction of the notions of race these discourses create.
Byrne focuses on the experience of white mothers and their
children, as a key site in the reproduction of class, race and
gender subjectivities, offering a compelling account of both the
experience of motherhood and ideas of white identity. Byrne's
research is unique in its approach of exploring whiteness in the
context of practices of mothering. She adopts a broad perspective,
and her approach provides a suggestive framework for analyzing the
racialization of everyday life. The book's multi-layered analysis
shifts expertly from intimate acts to those which engage with local
and national discourses in more public spaces. Reconsidering white
identities through white experiences of race, White Lives
encompasses many disciplines, making valuable reading for those
studying sociology, anthropology, race and ethnicity, and cultural
studies. Winner of the BSA Philip Abrams Memorial Prize 2007
