After Whiteness
2004,1998
Overview
As each new census bears out, the rise of multiracialism in the
United States will inevitably result in a white minority. In spite
of the recent proliferation of academic studies and popular
discourse on whiteness, however, there has been little discussion
of the future: what comes after whiteness? On the brink of what
many are now imagining as a post-white American future, it remains
a matter of both popular and academic uncertainty as to what will
emerge in its place. After Whiteness aims to
address just that, exploring the remnants of white identity to ask
how an emergent post-white national imaginary figure into public
policy issues, into the habits of sexual intimacy, and into changes
within public higher education. Through discussions of the 2000
census and debates over multiracial identity, the volatile psychic
investments that white heterosexual men have in men of color-as
illustrated by the Christian men's group the Promise Keepers and
the neo-fascist organization the National Alliance-and the rise of
identity studies and diversity within the contemporary public
research university, Mike Hill surveys race among the ruins of
white America. At this crucial moment, when white racial change has
made its ambivalent cultural debut, Hill demonstrates that the
prospect of an end to whiteness haunts progressive scholarship on
race as much as it haunts the paranoid visions of racists.
