Situated meanings of "white" as a cultural identity -- Doing identity in style -- Identity and group position. The Million Man March -- The social implications of white identity -- Conclusion: Beyond whiteness.Through ethnographic research and in-depth interviews of students in two demographically distinct U.S. high schools-- one suburban and predominantly white; the other urban, multiracial, and minority white-- Perry shares students' candor about race and self-identification. By examining the meanings students attached (or didn't attach) to their social lives and everyday cultural practices, including their taste in music and clothes, she shows that the ways white students defined white identity were not only markedly different between the two schools but were considerably diverse and ambiguous within them as well. Challenging reductionist notions of whiteness and white racism, this study suggests how we might go "beyond whiteness" to new directions in antiracist activism and school reform. Shades of White is emblematic of an emerging second wave of whiteness studies that focuses on the racial identity of whites. It will appeal to scholars and students of anthropology, sociology, and cultural studies, as well as to those involved with high school education and antiracist activities.e-Duke books scholarly collection.Children, WhiteCaliforniaSan Francisco Bay AreaSocial conditions20th centuryWhitesRace identityCaliforniaSan Francisco Bay AreaHigh school students, WhiteCaliforniaSan Francisco Bay AreaSocial conditions20th centuryRace awareness in childrenCaliforniaSan Francisco Bay AreaSan Francisco Bay Area (Calif.)Race relationsChildren, WhiteSocial conditionsWhitesRace identityHigh school students, WhiteSocial conditionsRace awareness in children305.235/09794/6305.235097946Perry Pamela1955-921861MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910172239403321Shades of white2068371UNINA
