WHITENESS: AN AMERICAN TRAGEDY & OTHER ESSAYS

$9.85

Who are America's “white people”? Where do they come from? How have they maintained their social dominance in the United States? And why are so many now expressing anger at their place in society?

Whether musing on the legacy of a Puritan folk heroine or examining one of the most gruesome massacres of the Revolutionary era, Gregory Rodriguez brings American history to life in deeply revealing and imaginative ways.

This collection of powerful, clear-eyed essays not only explores the origins of America’s largest demographic group, but excavates the meaning of whiteness and the racial origins of the nation's burgeoning cult of victimhood.
