Items related to White? Women: Critical Perspectives on Gender and Race
This edited collection is the first book to take an interdisciplinary approach to women and whiteness in Britain. It includes sociological, cultural, literary and historical essays on seeing whiteness as a race' and, importantly, gendering this phenomenon. While feminism has been criticised for many years for being race blind', responses to this criticism have largely focused upon reifying difference', an approach which risks depoliticising the power of whiteness. White?Women asserts a new response to this situation, by suggesting that white feminism needs to address its location as a politics of oppressive power, as well as one which may simultaneously be liberatory for (some) women.
