Displacing Whiteness

Essays in Social and Cultural Criticism
Herausgeber: Frankenberg, Ruth

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"This collection will be a substantial contribution to a current and growing body of materials investigating whiteness. As Frankenberg and the contributors know, recent work--even work that brackets whiteness in terms of class--has made little effort to specify the stunning range of particularity in the ways whiteness is experienced. This collection begins such a specification."--Dana D. Nelson, University of Kentucky
