Produktbeschreibung

"Do whites have a culture? Pamela Perry shows us that not only do they have a culture, they have many. An engrossing study of teenage peer culture in an increasingly multiracial society, " Shades of White" is an enlightening romp through white youth identity--an important contribution to the burgeoning literature on whiteness."--Dalton Conley, author of "Honky"
