Whiteness As Property Analysis

715 Words | 3 Pages

Fahad Albrahim Response 1: Review/Summary: “Whiteness as property” is an article written by Cheryl Harris, in which she addresses the subject of racial identity and property in the United States. Throughout the article, professor Harris attempts to explain how the concept of whiteness was initiated to become a form of racial identity, which evolved into a property widely protected in American law (page 1713). Harris tackles a number of facts that describe the roots of whiteness as property in American history at the expense of minorities such as Black and American natives (page 1709). Additionally, Harris describes how whiteness as property evolved to become seen as a racial privilege in which the whites gained more benefits, whether

White Empathy Hypothesis

289 Words | 2 Pages

The present research examined the role that awareness of white privilege that white Americans have played on the positive feelings toward black Americans. In agreement with the hypothesis, awareness of white privilege that white Americans have does indeed predict positive feelings toward black Americans, however the results were in the opposite direction and did not support the hypothesis. This indicates that the more attention brought to white Americans about their white privilege the less positive feelings they have toward black Americans. Additionally, the relationship that exists between the awareness of white privilege white that white Americans have and positive feelings toward black Americans no longer became significant with white empathy

Critical Whiteness Studies

765 Words | 4 Pages

Critical Whiteness Studies responds to the invisible and normative nature of whiteness in predominantly white societies, criticizing racial and ethnic attribution of non-white subjects who have to grapple with their deviation from the set norm, and opening the discussion on white privilege that results from being the unmarked norm (Kerner: 278). As Conway and Steyn elaborate, Critical Whiteness Studies aims to “redirect[...] the scholarly gaze from the margins to the centre” (283) and, more specifically, to interrogat[e][...] the centre of power and privilege from which racialization emanates but which operates more or less invisibly as it constructs itself as both the norm and ideal of what it means to be human. (ibid.) Thus, Critical Whiteness

Essay On Invisibility Of Whiteness

1788 Words | 8 Pages

At the heart of whiteness studies is the invisibility of whiteness and white privilege (Ahmed, 2004). Whiteness is thought of as the hidden criterion to which every other race is measured against.

To people who are not white, it is pervasive and blatant.
