White by Richard Dyer
Essays on Race and Culture
The book explores the concept of whiteness as a racial identity, examining how it has been constructed and represented in various cultural contexts. It delves into the ways whiteness is often portrayed as the norm or default, influencing societal structures and power dynamics. Through analysis of media, literature, and visual arts, the book highlights how whiteness maintains its dominance by remaining largely invisible and unexamined, urging readers to critically engage with the implications of this racial invisibility and its impact on both individual and collective identities.
