Postcolonial Whiteness: A Critical Reader On Race And Empire
Alfred J. Lopez | ISBN: 0791463613 | PDF | 272 pages | 2005 | 5 MB
Postcolonial Whiteness examines the interrelations between whiteness and the history of European colonialism, as well as the status of whiteness in the contemporary postcolonial world. It addresses two fundamental questions: What happens to whiteness after empire, and to what extent do white cultural norms or imperatives remain embedded in the postcolonial or postindependence state as a partacknowledged or notof the colonial legacy? Presenting a wide range of critical and theoretical responses, the contributors explore these questions by focusing on such diverse topics as the legacy of Princess Diana; queer selfexpression; the changing situation of Gypsy, or Romani, minorities in Eastern Europe; literature, including Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness, Caryl Phillips's Cambridge, and Gothic impact on the literature of Australia; reconstruction of white South African social identity; crosscultural discussions of mental illness; Freud's case history of the Wolfman; and Australia's national anthems.
