Towards a Bibliography of Critical Whiteness Studies

International/Comparative

Melanie Bush

 

Inquiries into the meanings of whiteness are now taking place around the globe. These international examinations have been especially located within media studies, the humanities and social sciences, and the field of education. More recent and intensive work has taken place in performative and communications studies and in the examination of nationhood. Discussions about whiteness are not necessarily “critical,” and for the sections below, I chose to include works that either implicitly or explicitly link whiteness to systemic and historical patterns of white supremacy, rather than merely describing white identity. This choice perhaps excludes some works that should have been cited, and it may also include some writings that don’t explicitly focus on whiteness but do actively engage the conversation on white supremacy. Because of the multidisciplinary and global nature of these writings, there is diversity in perspective about why these examinations are important. Most importantly, they engage the broader critique of European dominance in the global order, either on the local level or that of the international sphere.

The International/Comparative subsection mostly draws on broader critiques of globalization from cultural, economic, and political perspectives. The subsequent sections reflect how the examination of whiteness and its postcolonial legacies is particularly apparent in recent work by scholars in South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. This work has raised new questions about the relationship of the world capitalist empire as it originated in Europe and developed in the United States, as well as its current manifestations within Asia, Latin and South America, and Africa. Overall the literature increasingly explores the intersectionality of white supremacy, male supremacy, and the economic order, as well as Christian and heterosexual dominance.

These writings examine whiteness as evinced in social patterns and material evidence, as well as the implications, meaning and significance for the daily lives of ordinary peoples. Recognition of the fluidity of categories and of continuous racial formations and reformulations is apparent in most of the discussions.

Surveying these provocative essays can provide a better understanding of the “what” and “how” of white supremacy, though perhaps less of the “who” and “how not,” the spaces of resistance and opposition that present hope for the future. There is, however, some promise that future work will thread together disparate global analyses of whitenesses past and present, helping to chart possible trajectories for the crisis of the current world system.
