About This Item
New York: Schocken Books, 1998. Collection of essays, poetry, fiction, folklore, and slave narratives exploring the Black view of whiteness, revealing "its meaning not as a biological category but as a social construct designed to uphold racial inequality." Authors include James Baldwin, Derrick Bell, Ralph Ellison, W.E.B. Du Bois, bell hooks, Toni Morrison, Zora Neale Hurston, Langston Hughes, Amiri Baraka, Frederick Douglass, and Alice Walker. Published well before the ideas of white privilege or critical race theory entered the popular mind, this remains an essential anthology for those interested in the issue of whiteness as a social construct. Hardcover in jacket, as pictured; the first edition (first printing) with full number string. Light wear to book, corners and spine ends a bit bumped; jacket lightly rubbed. Text clean, no names or marks; xii, 353 pages. . First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. Octavo.
