Beskrivning

Using autoethnography to examine the social construction of whiteness in Puerto Rico. Guillermo Rebollo Gil draws from artistic, activist and popular culture registers to examine the multifarious yet often subtle ways race privilege shapes and informs daily life in the Puerto Rican archipelago. Cross-disciplinary in approach, Whiteness in Puerto Rico speaks to the present political moment in a country marked by austerity, disaster capitalism and protest.

Recensioner i media

Guillermo Rebollo-Gil's Whiteness in Puerto Rico is a remarkable reflection on the hegemonic, but not monolithic, power of whiteness in Puerto Rico. Clear, crisp, and beautifully written, Rebollo-Gil's auto-ethnography achieves a level of creativity, honesty, and intimacy that is rare, refreshing, and admirable, without ever falling on trite anti-racist posturing. Mandatory reading for anyone interested in understanding how white privilege operates in so-called “racial democracies,” and developing effective anti-racist collective projects in Puerto Rico and beyond.
