Written by leading thinkers, the books in this series deliver expert overviews of subjects that range from the cultural and the historical to the scientific and the technical. The MIT Press Essential Knowledge series offers accessible, concise, beautifully produced books on topics of current interest. Lund studies words used to talk about whiteness, from white privilege to white fragility the intersections of whiteness with race, class, and gender whiteness in popular culture and such ideas as “colorblindness” and “reverse racism,” which, he argues, actually uphold whiteness. Whiteness is not one single idea but a shifting, overarching category, a flexible cluster of historically, culturally, and geographically contingent ideals and standards that enable systems of hierarchical classification. In his urgent contribution to MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, Martin Lund examines the socially constructed phenomenon of whiteness, tracing its creation, its changing formation, and its power to privilege and protect people who are perceived as white.
