"Postcolonial Whiteness examines the interrelations between whiteness and the history of European colonialism, as well, as the status of whiteness in the contemporary postcolonial world. It addresses two fundamental question: What happens to whiteness after empire, and to what extent do white cultural norms or imperatives remain embedded in the postcolonial or postindependence state as a part-"acknowledged or not-"of the colonial legacy?
