By exploring this question and revealing the everyday social processes by which high schoolers define white identities, Pamela Perry offers much-needed insights into the social construction of race and whiteness among youth.\u003cbr\u003eThrough ethnographic research and in-depth interviews of students in two demographically distinct U.S. high schools-one suburban and predominantly white; the other urban, multiracial, and minority white-Perry shares students' candor about race and self-identification. By examining the meanings students attached (or didn't attach) to their social lives and everyday cultural practices, including their taste in music and clothes, she shows that the ways white students defined white identity were not only markedly different between the two schools but were considerably diverse and ambiguous within them as well. Challenging reductionist notions of whiteness and white racism, this study suggests how we might go \"beyond whiteness\" to new directions in antiracist activism and school reform.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShades of White\u003c\/i\u003e is emblematic of an emerging second wave of whiteness studies that focuses on the racial identity of whites. It will appeal to scholars and students of anthropology, sociology, and cultural studies, as well as to those involved with high school education and antiracist activities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pamela Perry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Duke University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/14\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.93lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.30w x 0.76d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822328926\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/04\/2002 pg. 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2002 pg. 910\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2002 pg. 122\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2002 pg. 363\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eUniv PR Books for Public Libry\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2003 pg. 17 - Recommended\/Regional General\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePamela Perry is Assistant Professor of Community Studies at the University of California, Santa Cruz. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Duke University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40198561595507,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":27.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_7944fd7e-bdf8-4c29-9c10-9d4c123a0f92.jpg?v=1656078768","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/shades-of-white-white-kids-and-racial-identities-in-high-school-9780822328926","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
