Whiteness of a Different Color: European Immigrants and the Alchemy of Race
Matthew Frye Jacobson
In this work of historical imagination, Jacobson argues that race resides in contingencies of politics and culture. Linking “whiteness studies” to traditional historical inquiry, he shows that in a nation of immigrants, “race” has been at the core of civic assimilation—ethnic minorities, in becoming American, were re-racialized to become Caucasian.
