Description

Book Synopsis
Chronicles the evolving narratives that linked whiteness with middle-class mobility and middle-class manhood. In doing so, Joseph Jewell addresses a key issue in the historical sociology of race: how racialized groups demarcate, defend, and alter social positions in overlapping hierarchies of race, class, and gender.

Trade Review
Jewell's concise and accessible prose style achieves a rare feat – making
potentially complex themes comprehensible without sacrificing any academic rigour . . . . A cautionary study on the way in which dominant cultures posses the power of narrative-creation in ways that can exclude minority groups from social and economic mobility. Jewell's book also vividly demonstrates how such attitudes and approaches end up creating boundaries that restrict social change, and reinforce the dominance of one group at the expense of others – a pattern that can have consequences generations into the future."—Ethnic & Racial Studies
