- Summary
- "A sweeping portrait of the emerging of whiteness studies, Critical White Studies presents, for the first time, the best work from sociology, law, history, cultural studies, and literature. Delgado and Stefancic expressly offer critical white studies as the next step in critical race theory. In focusing on whiteness, not only do they ask nonwhites to look more closely at what it means for others to be white; they invite whites to examine themselves more searchingly and to "look behind the mirror.""--BOOK JACKET.
