Bridget Byrne analyzes the flexibility of racialized discourse in everyday life, whilst simultaneously arguing for a radical deconstruction of the notions of race these discourses create.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eByrne focuses on the experience of white mothers and their children, as a key site in the reproduction of class, race and gender subjectivities, offering a compelling account of both the experience of motherhood and ideas of white identity. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eByrne's research is unique in its approach of exploring whiteness in the context of practices of mothering. She adopts a broad perspective, and her approach provides a suggestive framework for analyzing the racialization of everyday life. The book's multi-layered analysis shifts expertly from intimate acts to those which engage with local and national discourses in more public spaces. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReconsidering white identities through white experiences of race, \u003cem\u003eWhite Lives\u003c\/em\u003e encompasses many disciplines, making valuable reading for those studying sociology, anthropology, race and ethnicity, and cultural studies. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWinner of the BSA Philip Abrams Memorial Prize 2007\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bridget Byrne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415347114\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415347112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 201\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.98lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.36w x 0.67d","brand":"Bridget Byrne","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064900333823,"sku":"9780415347112","price":240.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2e87302f-826b-4ab9-927d-fed0c40340d0.jpg?v=1768671790","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/white-lives-bridget-byrne-9780415347112","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
