Unveiling Whiteness in the Twenty-First Century: Global
Manifestations, Transdisciplinary Interventions is a tightly
interconnected and richly collaborative book that will advance our
understanding of why it is so difficult to re-form and reimagine
whiteness in the twenty-first century. Composed after the election
of the first black U.S. president, post-global financial crisis,
more than a decade after 9/11, and concomitant with a rash of
xenophobic incidents across the globe, the book distills several
key themes associated with a post-millennial global whiteness: the
individual and collective emotions of whiteness, the recentering of
whiteness through governing and legal strategies, and the retreats
from social equity and justice that have characterized the late
twentieth and twenty-first century nation state. It also attempts
the difficult work of reimagining white identities and cultures for
a new era. Chapters in Unveiling Whiteness in the Twenty-First
Century draw from the fields of African-American studies, English
studies, media studies, philosophy, political science, psychology,
sociology, education, and women's studies. Using
transdisciplinarity as a mode of inquiry for the project and
responding to the changing phenomenon of whiteness across several
continents (Australia, Canada, France, Romania, South Africa,
Sweden, and the United States), the collection brings together
established and emerging scholars and a range of critical
approaches to unveil and intervene in the ideologies of whiteness
in our contemporary moment. Unveiling Whiteness in the Twenty-First
Century demonstrates that complex inquiry and activism are needed
to challenge new iterations of whiteness in twenty-first-century
political and social spaces.
