Whiteness

Reviews / Votes

It will be of value to a variety of readers. . . . Many of the accounts will engage, challenge and unsettle readers. * Feminist Theory * This is a very worthy collection. * Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society * Is a book that ought to be taught in interdisciplinary seminars on feminist theories and practice. Showcases important analytic developments in recent feminist thought to theorize the intersections among race, class, and gender. * Feminist Formations * Anyone following the rapidly becoming huge number of writings on 'whiteness' will be interested in this book. * Race Relations Abstracts * Chris Cuomo and Kim Hall's Whiteness, is a new classroom resource, in the honorable tradition of feminist consciousness raising, that can help students enter the discussion of the social construction of race through the accessible language of personal narrative. Whiteness will be a model, for students, of a kind of consciousness raisin that is overtly struggling with the tendency to confess and feel better. At the same time their own consciousness raising experience, provoked by the narratives in the book, will engage them directly in the tension between personal reflection and political engagement. * Philosophy in Review * This new collection of feminist philosophical reflections will provide a valuable resource for readers dedicated to combatting white supremacism. -- Vron Ware, author of <I>Beyond the Pale<I>; Department of Sociology, Yale University
