Read “Racial Formations” (I), “Derailing Rebellion: Inventing White
Privilege” (I), “How Jews Became White” (I), and/or “What Race Isn’t:
Teaching about Racism” (I). How do Buck, Brodkin, and Levins Morales
illustrate what Omi and Winant are writing about? Write an essay focusing
on two or three aspects of their pieces. How does Levins Morales discuss the
shifting meaning of race? How does Buck integrate discussions of laws
regarding race and “race mixing” into her analysis of the construction of
whiteness? How does Levins Morales’ discussion of European Americans
reinforce “whiteness” as a social construct? What does Brodkin say about
the linkage of whiteness and middle classness? You can also use an article
from Part VI and discuss how people from other ethnic groups undergo
similar racializing processes.
