Colored White: Transcending the Racial Past (American Crossroads, 10) by David R. Roediger
Requirements: .PDF reader, 3,4 MB
Overview: David R. Roediger’s powerful book argues that in its political workings, its distribution of advantages, and its unspoken assumptions, the United States is a "still white" nation. Race is decidedly not over.
The critical portraits of contemporary icons that lead off the book–Rush Limbaugh, Bill Clinton, O.J. Simpson, and Rudolph Giuliani–insist that continuities in white power and white identity are best understood by placing the recent past in historical context. Roediger illuminates that history in an incisive critique of the current scholarship on whiteness and an account of race-transcending radicalism exemplified by vanguards such as W.E.B. Du Bois and John Brown. He shows that, for all of its staying power, white supremacy in the United States has always been a pursuit rather than a completed project, that divisions among whites have mattered greatly, and that "nonwhite" alternatives have profoundly challenged the status quo.
