Retheorizing Race and Whiteness in the 21st Century examines the
role whiteness and white identities play in framing and reworking
racial categories, hierarchies and boundaries within the context of
nation, class, gender and immigration. It takes as its theoretical
starting point the understanding that whiteness is not, and nor has
it ever been, a static uniform category of social identification.
The scholarship in this book uses new empirical studies to show
whiteness as a multiplicity of identities that are historically
grounded, class specific, politically manipulated and gendered
social relations that inhabit local custom and national sentiment.
Contributors to this book examine a wide range of issues, yet all
chapters are linked by one common denominator: they examine how
power and oppression are articulated, redefined and asserted
through various political discourses and cultural practices that
privilege whiteness even when the prerogatives of the dominant
group are contested. Retheorizing Race and Whiteness in the 21st
Century is an important new contribution to the study of whiteness
for academics, researchers, and advanced students of Ethnic
Studies, Sociology, Political Science, and Ethnography. This book
was originally published as a special issue of Ethnic and Racial
Studies.
