Whiteness in America

By: Monica McDermott

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

When Americans think about race, “white” is often the furthest thing from their minds. Yet whiteness colors so much of social life in the United States, from the organization and maintenance of social structures to an individual’s sense of self. White has long been the invisible default category against which other racial and ethnic groups are silently compared and marked out as “different.” At the same time, whiteness is itself an active marker that many bitterly fight to keep distinctive, and the shifting boundaries of whiteness reflect the nation’s history of race relations, right back to the earliest period of European colonization. One thing that has remained consistent is that whiteness is a definitive mark of privilege. Yet, this privilege is differentially experienced across a broad and eclectic spectrum, as is white identity itself. In order to uncover the ways in which its rigid structures and complicated understandings permeate American life, this book examines some of the many varieties of what it means to be white – across geography, class, and social context – and the culture, social movements, and changing demographics of whiteness in America.

Smeltertown

Making and Remembering a Southwest Border Community

By: Monica Perales

Company town. Blighted community. Beloved home. Nestled on the banks of the Rio Grande, at the heart of a railroad, mining, and smelting empire, Smeltertown--La Esmelda, as its residents called it--was home to generations of ethnic Mexicans who labored at the American Smelting and Refining Company in El Paso, Texas. Using newspapers, personal archives, photographs, employee records, parish newsletters, and interviews with former residents, including her own relatives, Monica Perales unearths the history of this forgotten community. Spanning almost a century, Smeltertown traces the birth, growth, and ultimate demise of a working class community in the largest U.S. city on the Mexican border and places ethnic Mexicans at the center of transnational capitalism and the making of the urban West. Perales shows that Smeltertown was composed of multiple real and imagined social worlds created by the company, the church, the schools, and the residents themselves. Within these dynamic social worlds, residents forged permanence and meaning in the shadow of the smelter's giant smokestacks. Smeltertown provides insight into how people and places invent and reinvent themselves and illuminates a vibrant community grappling with its own sense of itself and its place in history and collective memory.

Drawing New Color Lines

Transnational Asian American Graphic Narratives

By: Monica Chiu

The global circulation of comics, manga, and other such visual mediums between North America and Asia produces transnational meanings no longer rooted in a separation between "Asian" and "American." Drawing New Color Lines explores the culture, production, and history of contemporary graphic narratives that depict Asian Americans and Asians. It examines how Japanese manga and Asian popular culture have influenced Asian American comics; how these comics and Asian American graphic narratives depict the "look" of race; and how these various representations are interpreted in nations not of their production. By focusing on what graphic narratives mean for audiences in North America and those in Asia, the collection discusses how Western theories about the ways in which graphic narratives might successfully overturn derogatory caricatures are themselves based on contested assumptions; and illustrates that the so-called odorless images featured in Japanese manga might nevertheless elicit interpretations about race in transnational contexts. With contributions from experts based in North America and Asia, Drawing New Color Lines will be of interest to scholars in a variety of disciplines, including Asian American studies, cultural and literary studies, comics and visual studies. "Drawing New Color Lines makes an exciting contribution to the rapidly expanding inquiry at the crossroads of Asian American literary studies, graphic narrative studies, and transnational studies. Foregrounding the shifting meanings of race within, across, and between various national contexts, the fifteen essays in Chiu's collection explore the visual dimensions of Asian American transnational literary culture with originality and offer particular insight into the complexities of production, interpretation, and reception for graphic narrative." — Pamela Thoma, author of Asian American Women's Popular Literature: Feminizing Genres and Neoliberal Belonging "An informative, smart, and necessary collection. Drawing New Color Lines investigates a growing and important field—transnational Asian American comics—with sophistication and breadth." — Hillary Chute, author of Graphic Women: Life Narrative and Contemporary Comics and Outside the Box: Interviews with Contemporary Cartoonists

God's Galloping Girl

The Peace River Diaries of Monica Storrs, 1929-1931

By: Monica Storrs,W. L. Morton

What brought Monica Storrs to embark on a wilderness life in thedepressed thirties amidst the hardships of B.C.'s Peace Rivercountry - the last North American frontier? Monica Storrs was to stay in the north for twenty years. She came toa wilderness almost roadless, townless, and schoolless, withoutamenities or culture; a land of hot, dusty summers and unpredictable,sub-Arctic winters; a land of untamed and unexpected grandeur. Hearing the "clear call" of duty, she was endowed with astrong desire to serve the Anglican cause. A refined woman of 41, thedelicately reared daughter of the dean of Rochester Cathedral, she wasfollowing a family tradition in seeking missionary work in rough andalien surroundings. Her mission was the settlers and the frontier. She came to teachSunday school and the traditions of guiding and scouting to tough,work-hardened country children. She rode horseback to bring the gospelto the families of isolated farmers and trappers. She welcomed the poorand hungry to her home -- both the God-fearing and the godless. And shewas, for the most part, welcome in theirs. She and the women who became her helpers were known affectionatelyby the people of the Peace as "God's Galloping Girls."Overcoming early fears of failure and rejection, she learned to subduethe prejudices of her moral and social upbringing and at last wonacceptance and a permanent place in the heart of the north. Monica Storrs' diaries are a moving narrative of a woman'sindomitable courage, faith, and humour. Her story is a vivid, realisticdescription of frontier life and the struggle for survival. Her wordsconvey the wild and primitive beauty of the Peace River country -- notjust a region, but an adventure of the spirit.
