Birth of a white nation

This book explores how the concept of 'white people' was created in colonial North America, tracing its origins and impact on racial inequality and injustice in American society.

It also proposes a framework for countering racial inequality and promoting anti-racist policies.

The second edition expands on historical narratives, including the experiences of Native Americans, Mexicans, and Irish immigrants, and discusses the ongoing production of whiteness as a dominant social category.
