reviewed Black on White: Black Writers on What It Means to Be White on June 15, 2011 Black on White: Black Writers on What It Means to Be White
This was an excellent book for me to read. It introduced me to a lot of authors I'd been meaning to read (W. E. Dubois, Harriet Jacobs, Ralph Ellison etc), plus excellent essays by people I knew only from fiction.
The scope and breadth is pretty great. Sections on whiteness as property, gendered aspects to whiteness, white terror etc. And a mix of heavy theory, poetry, fiction, memoir and more approachable essays. Lots and lots of slave era readings and many brutal lynching stories but also a few more contemporary pieces including cultural appropriation (madonna) and literary criticism. There is A LOT in this book and I will probably have to return to some of it.
Oh yeah, it's only focused on the US. It did make me want to read a similar book in an Australian context. Might have to make my own reading list though...
