More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Traditional debates concerning racially hierarchical societies have tended to focus on the experience of being black. White Women, Race Matters breaks with this tradition by focusing on the particular experiences of white women in a racially hierarchical society. By considering the ways in which their experience not only contributes to but challenges the reproduction of racism, the work offers a rigorous examination of existing methodologies, practices and assumptions concerning racism and gender relations. Supported by extracts from in-depth life history interviews, White Women, Race Matters provides valuable course material.

Thought Provoking and Necessary
2 Mar 1999
Format:Paperback
White Women, Race Matters is one of the first books which takes on the monumental task of 'decentralizing' white culture. Through interviews with white women, the author describes, delineates and discusses not only 'whiteness' but how and why we (they) construct it. While this is an academic book, it would be beneficial reading for almost every American.
