Western Privilege – Work, Intimacy, and Postcolonial Hierarchies in Dubai: Worlding the Middle East
Autor Amélie Le Renard, Jane Kuntzen Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 sep 2021
Westernness is more than a passport; it is also an identity that requires emotional and bodily labor. And as they work, hook up, parent, and hire domestic help, Westerners chase Dubai's promise of socioeconomic elevation for the few. Through an ethnography informed by postcolonial and feminist theory, Le Renard reveals the diverse experiences and trajectories of white and non-white, male and female Westerners to understand the shifting and contingent nature of Westernness--and also its deep connection to whiteness and heteronormativity. Western Privilege offers a singular look at the lived reality of structural racism in cities of the global South.
