The Intersections of Whiteness, 1st Edition, is an edited anthology that draws on critical race theory and intersectionality to analyze how whiteness intersects with gender, class, space, affect, and nationality. The volume frames demographic debates and political shifts in Western nations as manifestations of a transnational crisis of whiteness.
Contributors address settings across the United States, the United Kingdom, South Africa, and Germany. The collection considers political developments including Trumpism, Brexit, Black Lives Matter, and responses to German refugee policy, examining events such as alt-right student activism on American campuses.
Published in the Routledge Research in Race and Ethnicity series, the volume includes a foreword by Cynthia Levine-Rasky and supports students and researchers in critical whiteness studies, race studies, gender studies, cultural studies, and social policy.
