Routledge - Retheorizing Race and Whiteness in the 21st Century

Retheorizing Race and Whiteness in the 21st Century provides a deep look into how white identities shape racial categories, hierarchies, and boundaries. Published by Routledge, this scholarly work explores these dynamics through the lenses of nation, class, gender, and immigration. This book moves away from viewing whiteness as a static or uniform social category. Instead, it uses new empirical studies to present whiteness as a collection of multiple identities. These identities are shown to be historically grounded, class specific, and subject to political manipulation. For students and researchers in Ethnic and Racial Studies, this text offers a necessary framework for understanding how racial boundaries are reworked in the modern era. It serves as a foundational resource for anyone studying the social sciences, anthropology, or sociology to better understand the complex shifts in racial identification today.
