1. Making Whiteness
The Culture of Segregation in the South, 1890-1940
The book explores the cultural and social construction of whiteness in the American South from the late 19th to the early 20th century. It examines how whiteness was crafted and maintained through various means, including segregation, consumer culture, and media representations, to establish and reinforce racial hierarchies. By analyzing the interplay between race, identity, and power, the book highlights how whiteness became a dominant and normative identity, shaping societal norms and influencing the experiences of both white and Black communities during this period.
