Whiteness Fractured examines the many ways in which whiteness is
conceptualized today and how it is understood to operate and to
effect social relationships. Exploring the intersections between
whiteness, social class, ethnicity and psychosocial phenomena, this
book is framed by the question of how whiteness works and what it
does. With attention to central concepts and the history of
whiteness, it explains the four ways in which whiteness works. In
its examination of the outward and inward fractures of whiteness,
the book sheds light on both its connections with social class and
ethnicity and with the 'epistemology of ignorance' and the
psychoanalytic. Representing the long career of whiteness on the
one hand and investigating its expansion into new areas on the
other, Whiteness Fractured reflects the growing maturity of
critical whiteness studies. It undertakes a critical analysis of
approaches to whiteness and proposes new directions for future
action and enquiry. As such, it will appeal to scholars across the
social sciences with interests in race and ethnicity,
intersectionality, colonialism and post-colonialism, and cultural
studies.
