Recenzii
The greatest danger to American democracy is the ethos of whiteness—the practice of valuing white lives over nonwhite lives. In this carefully written and exhaustively researched book, Ella Myers provides a first-rate interpretation of W. E. B. Du Bois's analysis of whiteness. Rather than whiteness exclusively providing a material wage, Myers explores Du Bois's understanding of the various levels on which whiteness provides gratifications to its bearers. She provides us with Du Bois's critical point of view for grappling with a perennial threat. The Gratifications of Whiteness is an essential text for anyone concerned with the fate of democracy in America.
Moving deftly between the history of anti-Black racism and a critical analysis of the present, The Gratifications of Whiteness demonstrates the continuing urgency of W. E. B. Du Bois's political vision. Ella Myers mines Du Bois's writings to vivify the ruinous work of whiteness and enlist readers in following the lead of the activists and intellectuals who have opposed its power. The result is a devastating and yet hopeful portrait of US democracy in the post-post-racial era.
