The Making of American Whiteness: The Formation of Race in
Seventeenth-Century Virginia changes the narrative about the
origins of race and Whiteness in America. With an exhaustive array
of archival documents, Carmen P. Thompson demonstrates not only
that Whiteness predates European expansion to the Americas as
evidenced in their participation in the transatlantic slave trade
since the fifteenth century, but more importantly that it was the
principal dynamic in the settlement of Virginia, the first colony
in what would become the United States of America. And just as the
system of White supremacy was the principal framework that fueled
the transatlantic slave trade, it likewise was the framework that
drove the organization of civil society in Virginia, including the
organization and structure of the colony's laws, social, political,
and economic policies as well as its system of governance. The book
shows what Whiteness looked like in everyday life in the early
seventeenth century, in a way eerily prescient to Whiteness today.
