Co-Whites discusses race and gender politics and traces the role of
women in Western and non-Western political systems. Aniagolu
examines the dynamics of race and gender in the United States,
starting from the colonial and antebellum periods, leading up to
the American Civil War and Reconstruction, through the Civil Rights
era of the 1960s, to the present day. The work explores how white
American women, in their search and struggle for gender equality in
the United States, related to three principal streams in America's
socioeconomic and political history: white supremacy, women of
color-especially African American women, and the freedom and civil
rights struggle for racial equality. The United States has
irreversibly become a multiracial and multicultural democracy and
white supremacy has become untenable; however, Aniagolu concludes
that white American women collaborated with white American men as
'Co-Whites' or co-partners in the management and maintenance of
white supremacy in the United States. Well-researched and lucidly
written, the work makes intellectually and historically coherent a
subject matter often muttered in small circles and that takes the
form of scholarly 'civil wars' inside 'Women's Studies' between
white American and African American women scholars and schools of
thought. The work grapples with a serious issue in light of the
2008 presidential elections in the United States, offering
insightful explanations certain to evoke lively debate in
university classrooms, amongst professorial colleagues, and in the
general public.
