Its theoretical innovations in the analysis of whiteness are integrated with careful, substantive explorations of whiteness on an international, multiracial, cross-class, and gendered terrain. Contributors localize whiteness, as well as explore its sociological, anthropological, literary, and political dimensions.\u003cbr\u003eApproaching whiteness as a plural rather than singular concept, the essays describe, for instance, African American, Chicana\/o, European American, and British experiences of whiteness. The contributors offer critical readings of theory, literature, film and popular culture; ethnographic analyses; explorations of identity formation; and examinations of racism and political process. Essays examine the alarming epidemic of angry white men on both sides of the Atlantic; far-right electoral politics in the UK; underclass white people in Detroit; whiteness in \"brownface\" in the film \u003ci\u003eGandhi\u003c\/i\u003e; the engendering of whiteness in Chicana\/o movement discourses; \"whiteface\" literature; Roland Barthes as a critic of white consciousness; whiteness in the black imagination; the inclusion and exclusion of suburban \"brown-skinned white girls\"; and the slippery relationships between culture, race, and nation in the history of whiteness. \u003ci\u003eDisplacing Whiteness\u003c\/i\u003e breaks new ground by specifying how whiteness is lived, engaged, appropriated, and theorized in a range of geographical locations and historical moments, representing a necessary advance in analytical thinking surrounding the burgeoning study of race and culture.\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eContributors\u003c\/i\u003e.
