[SR: 469971], Taschenbuch, [EAN: 9780805211146], Schocken, Schocken, Book, [PU: Schocken], 1999-01-09, Schocken, American literature boasts a long history of white authors writing about blacks. From Harriet Beecher Stowe's abolitionist novel, Uncle Tom's Cabin, to Richard Herrnstein and Charles Murray's controversial study of ethnicity and intelligence, The Bell Curve, the right of white writers to examine the lives of black people is accepted without comment. But where are the commentaries by black writers on white culture? They exist, to be sure--Frederick Douglass, W.E.B. Du Bois, and Zora Neale Hurston, to name just a few, have all written on the subject of "white folk"--but little if any of this work ever makes it into the consciousness of mainstream America. This new anthology might just change all that. Edited by David R. Roediger, Black on White brings together some of the most succinct writing ever on what it means to be white--from the African American point of view. Consider, for example, William J. Wilson's satiric "What Shall We Do with the White People?": For many centuries now have they been on this continent; and for many years have they had entire rule and sway; yet they are today no nearer the solution of the problem, "are they fit for self-government"--than they were at the commencement of their career. Or bell hooks's critical "Representations of Whiteness in the Black Imagination": Usually white students respond with naïve amazement that black people critically assess white people from a standpoint where "whiteness" is the privileged signifier. Their amazement that black people watch white people with a critical "ethnographic" gaze, is itself an expression of racism. Toni Morrison, Amiri Baraka, Langston Hughes, Ralph Ellison, and Alice Walker are just a few of the heavy-hitters included in an anthology that runs the gamut of African American writers and thinkers. --Alix Wilber, 3234481, Sozialwissenschaft, 15095930031, Anthropologie, 15095787031, Bibliotheks- & Informationswissenschaft, 15095932031, Genderstudies, 15095934031, Kriminologie, 15095811031, Linguistik, 3118971, Medienwissenschaft, 3138111, Philosophie, 3234701, Soziologie, 541686, Kategorien, 186606, Bücher, 14166942031, Literaturgeschichte & -kritik, 14166965031, Bewegungen & Epochen, 14166943031, Bücher & Interpretationen, 14166948031, Gattungen & Stilrichtungen, 14166947031, Kritik & Theorie, 14166964031, Männerliteratur, 14166985031, Nachschlagewerke, 14166986031, Regionen & Kulturkreise, 14166946031, Vergleichende Literaturwissenschaft, 14167008031, Weibliche Autoren, 117, Literatur & Fiktion, 541686, Kategorien, 186606, Bücher, 15779681, USA, 15777251, Geschichte nach Ländern, 143, Politik & Geschichte, 541686, Kategorien, 186606, Bücher, 188956, Gesellschaft, 16243761, Alter, 498564, Ausländer, 498556, Behinderte, 498562, Diskriminierung, 498546, Drogen, 187380, Genetik & Bioethik, 16243741, Gesellschaftskritik, 188966, Gesundheit, 188974, Kriminalität, 188973, Multikultur, 188979, Sozialarbeit, 16243751, Soziale Gerechtigkeit, 3341421, Sozialhilfe, 3341441, Technischer Fortschritt, 143, Politik & Geschichte, 541686, Kategorien, 186606, Bücher, 65254011, USA, 65255011, 19.
