Summary: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 by exposing systems that teach us how we think about race. The scholars in this collection show us how whiteness is learned and deployed via a variety of social forces, including schools, the media, and even cyberspace. By looking at the ideas behind concepts like "reverse racism" and "white privilege," White Reign can help the reader decipher the hidden message of what being white means in our race-conscious society.
