▼ In the summer of 1965, eleven years following the U.S. Supreme Court decision declaring segregated schooling unconstitutional, Chattooga County School Board voted to desegregate its public schools through a freedom of choice plan. The story of this rural Appalachian county’s path to school desegregation through the eyes of the white community provides insight into the role of white privilege and white racial identity in both the initial uneventful phases of school desegregation and in the eventual resegregation of the school system some twenty years later. Through the use of personal interviews, newspaper articles, school board minutes, and school publications, the study uncovers the unspoken role of whiteness in this community both before and after school desegregation. The study reveals the extent to which white racial identity governed political, social, and economic decisions in both this rural mountain county and in the state as a whole. In Chattooga County, as in much of the state, the decision to follow the Supreme Court ruling was reached largely because whites believed that doing so would allow them to maintain control over the state’s public schools while also avoiding federal government interference. The unspoken, unidentified belief in white privilege that governed life in the county prior to desegregation continued to control the decisions of its white leaders. Some twenty years following the desegregation of its schools, white parents in the county in growing numbers began to remove their children from the desegregated county school system to place them in the largely segregated schools of the independent Trion School System. The study provides evidence of the role of whiteness in the continuing resegregation of schools in Chattooga County and has implications about this movement in schools throughout Georgia and the Southeast.

▼ According to social theorists, Westerners are increasingly inter-connected with other societies through the complex processes of modernity and globalization, thereby creating an increasingly multiethnic and religiously pluralistic world still dominated by the rationalism of modernity. Consequently, their world is disenchanted and their identities disembedded from traditional contexts, thus placing many individuals in a state of identity crisis. For working and middle-class white Americans, this problem is exacerbated by the unmarkedness of white racial identities, and the subsumption of ancestral ethnic European identities within this unmarked racial category. This dilemma has led some to question and challenge the authenticity and legitimacy of their religious identities and traditions, and to develop strategies to re-embed, revalorize, and refashion their racial and class identities. My research offers an investigation of one such strategy, specifically that employed by Neo-Pagans with an ethnic focus. I explore how recent traditions compose a new strategy that is attractive to white Americans seeking to re-root and give new meanings to their racial and religious identities. Furthermore, I suggest that a key reason some are drawn to and mark identification with ethnic Neo-Pagan traditions is a desire to refashion ethnoreligious identities to re-embed themselves in a re-enchanted physical and social world where ethnic ancestry and whiteness matter in new ways. This research is guided by the following questions: How might ethnic Neo-Pagan options mitigate the foregoing dilemma experienced by primarily white and working or middle-class adherents? What potential benefits come with identification with these traditions? Are ethnic Neo-Pagans concerned with legitimacy and authenticity as they reconstruct European folk traditions and histories, and how might those practices and narratives conflate European ethnicities into newly revalorized forms of whiteness? These questions are addressed through a combination of qualitative data-collection methods. Interview and participant observation data for this project were collected at diverse Neo-Pagan field sites in Texas. I identified and analyzed themes of ethnic heritage and ancestry that emerged from these data to determine how they bear on prominent race and class performance theories, particularly regarding questions about changing constructions of race, ethnicity, and religious identities in response to globalization.

▼ In his documentary entitled, Nerdcore For Life, director Dan Lamoureux described Nerdcore as a "powerful social collision between hip hop and geek culture". Born on the Internet, Nerdcore Hip-Hop is rap music made by geeks, for geeks and covers such traditionally "nerdy" topics such as comic books, video games, science fiction, anime, technology, etc. Though it has existed online for almost a decade, only recently has Nerdcore gone from being an Internet fad to an underground cultural phenomenon. This paper investigated how hegemonic constructions of race and gender within both the dominant public sphere and hip-hop culture are subverted and reinvented within Nerdcore counterculture. The "birth" narrative of the Nerdcore movement, as depicted in film documentaries Nerdcore For Life and Nerdcore Rising, provides a public platform for self-proclaimed nerds to assert cultural power and agency through hip hop music—even while the performance of white, nerdy masculinity, made all the more nerdy by contrast with mainstream hip hop's machismo, subverts that power. The Nerdcore genre has created a transgressive space within the underground hip-hop movement in which marginalized geek culture can claim ownership of an identity alternative to mainstream expectations of gender and race. The content of Nerdcore differentiates itself from mainstream hip-hop by speaking to the heart of "geek" culture, but also utilizes hip-hop's ability to express the oppressed experiences of today's youth. Nerdcore challenges the traditional misogynistic, hyper-masculine mainstream construction associated with both white and black masculinities, and offers a safe space in which to perform alternative masculinities. Nerdcore artists offer a unique new strategy for achieving authenticity as white performers in hip-hop counterculture-a conscious subversion. The geek identity presented by Nerdcore does not attempt to recreate gender and racial stereotypes visible in hip-hop nor does it parody hip-hop culture. Nerdcore performers have developed a space to offer a conscious narrative of subversion for alternative identity performances in hip-hop music. Advisors/Committee Members: Jones, Ricky L..

▼ Racism against non-white people continues to be a significant problem as we enter the twenty-first century. While slavery and other objectionable racist practices may be in the past, subtle yet powerful racism remains. This study explores racism against non-white people in the present by examining the meanings of the signifier, whiteness, for three people who participated in this study. The three participants are adults, one male and two females, who responded to a poster requesting non-white people to participate in this study. The participants provided written descriptions of situations in which they encountered whiteness, and they agreed to expand upon their original descriptions in an interview. The written descriptions and the interviews with the three participants constituted the data that was analyzed for this study, using an empirical phenomenological method first outlined by Giorgi (1975). The interview process involved some unexpected difficulties regarding my position as a white person interviewing non-white people, and the possible impact that my whiteness may have had upon them. The difficulties encountered during the interview process are discussed in more detail at the end of the Results Section of this study. The results show how personal encounters with white people impact the participants in this study by interrupting their attunement with others. These encounters have psychological effects upon the participants, evoking anger, confusion, and fear. When the participants reflected upon these encounters, they described the powerlessness and futility that they experienced. For the participants in this study, moving beyond encounters with people whom they identify as white means becoming hyper-vigilant. The results of this study are discussed in a dialogue with the theoretical literature on whiteness and with Foucault's work on the subject and power. The discussion of the results includes a dialogue with psychological literature on anger, futility, resentment, and psychological resistance. Advisors/Committee Members: Paul Richer, Anthony Barton, Russell Walsh.

▼ This PhD thesis explores the role of sympathy in the discursive formation of race in Scottish and American eighteenth- and nineteenth-century literature. Offering insight into Adam Smith’s Theory of Moral Sentiments as one paradigm that underpins the philosophical terms of sympathy in the Atlantic world, I argue that sympathy as a mode of control and a mechanism of normalisation played a formative role in the transatlantic history of the literary construction of whiteness. My introductory chapter delineates key debates on sentimental literature and argues that race in general and whiteness in particular have been ignored in revisionist accounts of the genre. My second chapter outlines Smith’s concept of sympathy in the context of Scottish Enlightenment theories of stadial history, suggesting that sympathy is always already bound up with a racial understanding of others in a categorical system of cultural development. I examine this dialectic of race and sympathy in the novels of Henry Mackenzie, which present social inequality, colonial exploitation, and slavery as conditions that the sentimental genre cannot rectify. This discussion is continued in chapter three, which deconstructs Harriet Beecher Stowe’s sentimental rhetoric in Uncle Tom’s Cabin, suggesting that while it is employed to foster fellow-feeling for the black slave, it also reduces others to the terms of the white self. Chapter four demonstrates that Uncle Tom’s Cabin’s philosophy of white sympathy is fully articulated in Stowe’s New York novels, My Wife and I and We and Our Neighbors, as a discourse of affinity, which functions as an advertisement for white bourgeois homogeneity in a developing consumer culture. The concluding chapter explores sympathy in relation to race passing and scientific racism in Jessie Redmon Fauset’s Comedy: American Style, where the passing protagonist embodies the gaze of sympathy that cares for others according to their degree of whiteness. Fauset, I argue, critiques the legacy of nineteenth-century sentimental literature, just as she, along with Du Bois and others, opposes eugenicists’ vision of a ‘White Atlantic’ as a new world order.

▼ In this ethnographic dissertation, I develop a spatial framework, emphasizing the intersections of the symbolic and material, to contextualize and fragment our understanding of whiteness. Marrying race with space complicates essentialized depictions of whiteness and de-racialized descriptions of space. Extending the contributions of Henri Lefebvre, I argue that discourses of whiteness intersect with spatial control, exacerbating continued racial division in concrete, material locations. As space does not exist independently of discourse, it is constituted by ideological interests. Space also plays an important role in identification, and thus a more nuanced understanding of whiteness involves examining how spaces are represented, and the implications for white identity. In this study, I utilized observation, interviews, and mapping. My fieldwork, conducted in the spring of 2011, took place in a farm town in central Washington that relies upon migrant workers from Mexico and other parts of Latin America. The two major contributions of this research are a) the demonstration of the intersections between whiteness, space, and communication and b) the proposal of a framework for incorporating space into research on the symbolic constructions of race. White participants' spatial narratives elucidate pioneer and multiculturalist expressions of whiteness. The citation of an agricultural ethos also pervades discourses of whiteness in this community. Demographic changes evoke new discursive strategies in which space is rhetorically constructed to affirm and contract whiteness, while simultaneously justifying racial distance and naturalizing spatial avoidance. These specific articulations of space signal the resiliency of whiteness to morph in response to perceived threats to its position and assuage anxiety over demographic changes. A spatial approach highlights how social productions of space can both reinforce colorblindness ideology and render whiteness visible for the satiation of specific identity needs. How spaces, like those identified by members of an agricultural farm community, are represented and how those articulations both unite and separate are necessary for moving the whiteness project forward

▼ This thesis examines representations of whiteness and otherness in Australian secondary school social science textbooks from 1950-2010. Using textbooks as records of dominant narratives, I identify continuities and changes to the visibility and substantive nature of whiteness and otherness over this period. In particular, I analyse the discursive shifts which facilitated the transition in whiteness from a symbol of overt superiority to one of normality, characterised by ‘unknowing’. Utilising a theoretical framework comprising critical whiteness studies and ignorance theory, I employ content and critical discourse analysis to investigate how dominant discourses produce and maintain categories of belonging and exclusion. I focus on the role of ignorance in the perpetuation of these categories despite substantial legislative and social change during the research period, signified by the transition from the White Australia era to multiculturalism. Textbooks reflect the shift in the broader polity over the research period: White dominance persists by becoming unmarked. Although representations of whiteness and otherness in textbooks become less visible, the constructs themselves endure. Similarly, Whites’ position at the centre of the nation and non-Whites’ at the margins persists despite changes to the substantive nature of these constructs: less overt assertions of White superiority and constructions of others as different rather than deficient. Even the increased representation of non-Whites fails to unsettle this dynamic; by siloing this content, dominant whiteness is not disrupted. Continuities despite apparent change are enabled by White ignorance. The absence of overt assertions of White superiority and non-White deficiency in the multicultural era maintains White racial dominance while engendering White ignorance by rendering constructions of whiteness and otherness less explicit. In conjunction with the reduced visibility of these constructs, these less overt formulations shield the racialised nature of the polity from critique, ensuring that White ignorance is reproduced rather than interrupted. These discursive strategies (re)construct Australianness as White, irrespective of the racial diversity of the contemporary Australian population.

▼ This thesis argues, as its point of departure, that the pre-emptive characterization of America as ‘post-race’ has become an increasingly naturalized ethos through which to impede anti-racist dialogue and, as such, sustain the normative privilege of whiteness. An extension of the rhetoric of color-blindness that upholds white privilege by reimagining race as an elective identity, the post-race seeks to historicize and hence contain race and racism as struggles now overcome. With attention to the critical race and whiteness theory that challenges post-race ideology, this dissertation focuses on the role of hip-hop, a culture resolutely invested in questions of race and positionality, for the ways in which it problematizes post-race politics. Grounded in an understanding of the particular role of positionality in hip-hop’s uneasy relationship to questions of authenticity and realness, I interrogate the ways in which white rappers and other performers mobilize hip-hop in twenty-first-century America, and contend that hip-hop’s unique capacity to present whiteness as visible and its sustained investment in the performative critique of race and gender positionalities are invaluable to the broader anti-racist project of critical whiteness studies. Existing scholarship on the relationship of whiteness and hip-hop has focused overwhelmingly on the phenomenon of white male hip-hoppers and their particular attractions to hip-hop culture. While I recognize the significance of masculinity to hip-hop’s interconnected investments in blackness and ‘realness’ – concerns to which I dedicate Chapters One and Two – I am also interested in the seldom-considered ways in which white women mobilize hip-hop. In this way, my dissertation presents both an update to whiteness and hip-hop discourse in the so-called post-race Obama era, and an important intervention into the existing literature, in its attention to not only hip-hop masculinities, but female artists and their various engagements with black female sexuality through hip-hop.

▼ Inspired by Didier Eribon's La société comme verdict, this dissertation examines how the novelistic representation of racism and racialization in French-language texts can push back against a collective social verdict in France that stigmatizes non-white peoples as lesser and as other. Though discussing the existence of race is still taboo in France, I show that this stigmatization is in fact a racial verdict, or one that operates through racialization, as opposed to a verdict predicated on sexuality, gender, or class. To do so, I analyze the representation of racial hierarchies and the experience of racism in six novels written in French: Daniel Biyaoula's L'Impasse, Gisèle Pineau's L'Exil selon Julia, Leïla Sebbar's Le Chinois vert d'Afrique, Zahia Rahmani's "Musulman" roman, Cyril Bedel's Sale nègre, and Bessora's 53 cm. As I argue, these authors resist racial verdicts by writing about and examining the place of the ethnic minority individual in French society. In so doing they also issue counter verdicts that condemn society, individuals, and the state for their complicity in maintaining an unjust status quo. I first demonstrate that the racial hierarchies introduced during the colonial era to justify the exploitation and domination of non-white peoples continue to mark French society, operating as a collective societal verdict that marks those perceived as "colored" according to the sign of stigma. This judgment is first and foremost tied to phenotype–the inescapable physical body–but also includes fluid markers like religion, speech, dress and culture. Second, I examine this racial verdict through three lenses–"blackness," "arabness," and "whiteness"–interrogating both how the authors present its impact on society and individuals–, thus proving its very existence–and how they refute it. Once exposed, verdict is countered through the rehabilitation of stigmatized identities such as blackness, the indictment of the impulse to categorize individuals based on race, the condemnation of the French state for its exclusion of its own citizens, and the revelation that whiteness–the source of the racial hierarchy–is both colored and founded on emptiness.

▼ Interpersonal conflict poses a serious threat to social justice activism. In the context of multi-racial solidarity activism in southern Arizona, conflicts are often born of the challenges accompanying differentials in social privilege due to differences in race and ethnicity relative to white supremacist settler colonialism. We can see these tensions topologically through the very different relationships white, [email protected], [email protected], and indigenous activists have to on-going processes of white supremacy. This dissertation explores the factors contributing to successes and failures of multi-racial activist ventures in the context of the Arizona/Sonora borderlands, particularly the challenges of negotiating social difference among communities of activists. Arizona occupies a contentious position with regard to securitization practices on the US/Mexico border. Social justice activists come to southern Arizona to involve themselves in humanitarian aid projects that address human rights issues emerging from border securitization processes. Over time, many of these activists connect with other social justice work in southern Arizona, leading to the existence of particularly rich and dedicated networks of activists in Tucson, southern Arizona’s largest city. Subsequently, we see the development of a diverse array of activist ventures deliberately orienting themselves around racial justice. This dissertation examines the paradox of becoming anti-racist for white activists, through which white activists work to address problematic aspects of their socialization as white subjects within the hierarchy of white supremacist society, a process that must co-exist with the knowledge that one cannot ‘unwhiten’ oneself. Tucson has a rich history of social justice activism that contributes to a particularly diverse activist landscape. Since the early 2000s, the primary concern of grassroots political activism in the city has been migrant justice and opposition to the militarization of the US/Mexico border. In the aftermath of Arizona’s notorious 2010 racial profiling legislation, SB 1070, The Protection Network Action Fund (ProNet) was founded as a collaboration between undocumented migrant activists and white allies, with the express goal of fundraising to support migrant led activism in Tucson. Much of ProNet’s success is rooted in the long-term relationship building between migrant activists and white allies, and intentional commitments to bridging gaps between the humanitarian aid and migrant justice communities. Members of ProNet challenge the spatial dynamics of activist networks Tucson, connecting [email protected] and [email protected] activist communities in and surrounding Spanish speaking South Tucson with activists in parts of the city where the effects of the militarized border are less present, and where residents are predominantly white.
