Other Sisterhoods
LITERARY THEORY AND U.S. WOMEN OF COLOREdited by Sandra Kumamoto Stanley
University of Illinois Press, 1998
Where are the women writers of color? Where are their theoretical voices?
The fifteen contributors to Other Sisterhoods: Literary Theory and
U.S. Women of Color examine the ways that women writers of color have
contributed to the discourse of literary and cultural theory. They focus
on the impact of key issues, such as social construction and identity
politics, on the works of women writers of color, as well as on the ways
these women deal with differences relating to gender, class, race/ethnicity,
and sexuality. The book also explores the ways women writers of color
have created their own ethnopoetics within the arena of literary and cultural
theory, helping to redefine the nature of theory itself.

to the next century. Great work!" -- Alvina E. Quintana, author of

Out of Whiteness
Color, Politics, and CultureVron Ware and Les Back
University of Chicago Press, 2002
What happens when people in societies stratified by race refuse to accept the privileges inherent in whiteness? What difference does it make when whites act in a manner that contradicts their designated racial identity? Out of Whiteness considers these questions and argues passionately for an imaginative and radical politics against all forms of racism.
Vron Ware and Les Back look at key points in recent American and British culture where the "color line" has been blurred. Through probing accounts of racial masquerades in popular literature, the growth of the white power music scene on the Internet, the meteoric rise of big band jazz during the Second World War, and the pivotal role of white session players in crafting rhythm and blues classics by black artists, Ware and Back upset the idea of race as a symbol of inherent human attributes. Their book gives us a timely reckoning of the forces that continue to make people "white," and reveals to us the polyglot potential of identities and cultures.
