Naming whiteness is becoming an increasingly pressing issue across
a variety of social and political contexts. In this book, an
international set of authors discuss how and why this has come to
be the case. Studying whiteness, as either a social identity or
political ideology, is a relatively recent area of scholarship.
Unusually, within the fields of race and ethnicity, it is a concept
that sits at an intersection between historical privilege and
identity. At the same time, 'white privilege' is not universally
shared in (or can be distant to) how many white people feel they
experience their identities. Whiteness as a site of privilege is
therefore not absolute, but rather cross-cut by a range of other
concerns, too. Nonetheless, recent political developments serve to
illustrate the political potency of appeals to whiteness, in a way
that suggests whiteness coupled with nationhood is a central social
and political topic. In this book, authors from the USA, Australia
and Europe consider the contemporary relationships between
whiteness and national identity by focusing on mainstream electoral
politics, the 'normalisation' of white supremacy and where
whiteness stands in relation to pluralised national identities. The
chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue
of the journal, Identities: Global Studies in Culture and Power.
