Dive Into the Archive: https://leftofblack.org/ How is whiteness contextualized throughout modern literature? Professor of African & African American Studies at Duke, Dr. Stephanie Li, argues that much of the twenty-first century is being shaped by a rising white consciousness due to the growing diversification of America’s political, social, and cultural institutions. The result is literature that more directly grapples with whiteness as its own construct rather than a wrongly assumed norm. Using the writings of Dave Eggers, Sarah Smarsh, current Vice President J. D. Vance, Claire Messud, Ben Lerner, and others, she traces the responses to white consciousness that breed shared manifestations of ugliness. She joins host Dr. Mark Anthony Neal to discuss her new book, "Ugly White People: Writing Whiteness in Contemporary America," published by University of Minnesota Press (@universityofminnesotapress1479).
