Counting the costs of whiteness in the American past and present
David Roediger is widely credited as a founder of Critical Whiteness Studies. He writes as a historian and interdisciplinary scholar of race and labor in the US. Educated in public schools and in social movements, his major books include Wages of Whiteness, Seizing Freedom, and How Race Survived US History.
David Roediger has emerged as the leading analyst, critic and
interpreter of the role of 'whiteness' in US history and culture.
His carefully researched and historically grounded writing shows us
that white racism has been a central force in US history, and a key
component of Euro-American identity, not just an aberration in an
otherwise color-blind society.
