What does it mean to be white? This remains the question at large in the continued effort to examine how white racial identity is constructed and how systems of white privilege operate in everyday life. White Out brings together the original work of leading scholars across the disciplines of sociology, philosophy, history, and anthropology to give readers an important and cutting-edge study of "whiteness".

"This wide-ranging and often brilliant collection places the critical study of whiteness right where it belongs--squarely within the larger framework of an analysis of a larger racial system that produces inequality and misery. Of all of the anthologies on whiteness, "White Out is far and away the most successful at detailing how and why social structures matter when racial ideologies are made." -David R. Roediger is the author of "Colored White: Transcending The Racial Past "An immensely valuable book. Here you will find vital information and analysis, both of the payoffs racism offers to whites, and of the immense costs racism imposes on the white psyche." -Howard Winant, author of "The World is a Ghetto: Race and Democracy Since World War II "Provides greater depth and breath than previous studies by moving these discussions in the direction of a long overdue structural examination of racism, while pointing to new directions for further research." -G. Reginald Daniel, author of "More Than Black? Multiracial Identity and the New Racial Order "Moving beyond static conceptualizations of whiteness, "White Out redirects the focus of whiteness studies and produces an empirical understanding of white identity and the practices it produces." -David T. Wellman, author of "Portraits of White Racism
What does it mean to be white? This remains the question at large in the continued effort to examine how white racial identity is constructed and how systems of white privilege operate in everyday life. This text brings together the original work of leading scholars across the disciplines of sociology, philosophy, history and anthropology to give readers a cutting-edge study of "whiteness". This collection moves beyond the personal narratives and surface discussions that have dominated the first generation of whiteness studies and brings discussion towards an actual structural analysis of racism. The essays cover such topics as the philosophy of whiteness; the belief in colour blindness; the effects of white privilege; and the possibility for anti-racism. Collected together, these essays provide both a critical analysis and a path for future directions for the field.
