Call for Papers
1997 Southeast Modern Language Association Conference
Nov. 13-15, Atlanta, GA
Special Session: Whiteness and Identity
Numerous articles, conferences, and books have recently addressed from
various perspectives the topic of "whiteness." Areas of interest within
whiteness studies include such questions as whether or not there is a
"white culture"; whether or not "whites" should or do identify themselves
as such; and how the lives of racialized minorities are influenced by the
dominant order's favoring of supposedly white skin, by the pervasive
presence of unspoken "white" values, mores, and presumptions. How do
authors portray the influence of such forces on the self-conceptions
formed by "people of color" and/or "whites"? Abstracts are invited that
address how authors (either marked as "white" and/or in other ways)
from any period portray the influence of unspoken whiteness on
constructions of identity.
Please send abstracts by May 10 to:
