White Reign: Deploying Whiteness in America

by Ronald E. Chennault (Editor), Prof. Joe L. Kincheloe (Editor), Shirley R. Steinberg (Editor)

What does it mean to be white in today's society? Is whiteness an ethnicity? White Reign tackles questions like these by examining whiteness as a cultural concept that our society has created and exposing the systems that teach us how we think about race, including schools, media, and even cyberspace. These essays examine the construction of white identity and the possibility of reshaping whiteness in a progressive, nonracist manner, presenting a culture of whiteness that can be employed by educators, parents, and citizens concerned with racial justice.

[Amy · Rating 3 out of 5]

an interesting compilation of essays on what it means to have white privelege, from the perspective of those who enjoy and employ it, rather than as an outsider in. well put together. interesting implications touched on. important for anyone interested in race relations and the associated power.
