Whiteness is sometimes called an "invisible identity" meaning that while a people's race affects every part of their lives, white people are rarely forced to consider how their own race is a part of their identity. This course will examine the ways in which whiteness has evolved as a concept. We will examine how who counts as white has changed over time, how ethnicity and race intersect, how white race is related to structures of privilege and white supremacy, and most importantly, we will consider ways in which whiteness as a structure of power can be subverted.
