This is a thorough and well researched history of the white race, albeit quite dry. It reads much like a textbook, not particularly engaging, but appropriate for the subject matter. ( ) Clear and to the point, meticulously researched and annotated, with an impressive range of primary sources; well-organized and devastating. This is an excellent scholarly text. Of course it wasn't easy to read, both because it's full of people I don't actually want to engage with, and because I kept finding myself preparing for a debate with white supremacists. Once I stopped reading to memorize and read to deepen my understanding, it went more smoothly.

Historian Painter centers her momentous study of racial classification on the slave trade and the nation-building efforts which dominated the United States in the 18th century, when thinkers led by Ralph Waldo Emerson strove to explain the rapid progress of America within the context of white superiority. Her research is filled with frequent, startling realizations about how tenuous and temporary our racial classifications really are. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
