AFRICAAM 40SI: Possessive Investment in Whiteness
An approachable but nuanced way of developing a notion of the construction and maintenance of whiteness in the United States. By focusing on George Lipsitz's book, the class works to challenge and refine the ideas of white privilege and race in the history and contemporary United States. By focusing on the single text, with some outside supplementary material, the course does not contend that Lipsitz is providing the only truth, but the class looks to complicate his notions and expand them with personal and outside understandings. May be repeated for credit.
