Whiteness Visible: The Meaning of Whiteness in American Literature
Her literary analysis of Moby Dick is really stirring. The work in and of itself is important, but the book is often uneven. She moves from cartography to Melville to housing sectioning as examples of the workings of whiteness in society and how it inscribes itself as dominant normalcy (and, in the case of Melville, how you work against that), and these are all fine examples, but they are disparate and she doesn't make a good case as to why these examples all belong together (why not all lit? all housing/education studies? etc.)
