文章论述了当代西方社会中维系和掩饰白人种族霸权的权力关系的本质。根据批判种族理论(CRT)提供的见解，白人至上被认为是一种综合条件，白人主体的利益和感知不断被放在中心舞台上，并被认为是“正常的”。这些过程通过两个截然不同的情节进行了分析。第一个例子与一段公共危机时期有关，在这一时刻，一系列特殊情况--在这种情况下，是2005年7月的伦敦爆炸案--让“真正重要的事情”得到了缓解。第二个例子涉及国家评估机制在教育系统中的例行公事和正常运作，并提出了这样一个问题：评估只是记录了教育不平等，还是实际上造成了教育不平等。这些明显不同的案件与白人利益的中心地位和动员结构和文化力量以牺牲种族主义的“他者”为代价捍卫白人权力有关。
The article addresses the nature of power relations that sustain and disguise white racial hegemony in contemporary ‘western’ society. Following the insights offered by critical race theory (CRT), white supremacy is conceived as a comprehensive condition whereby the interests and perceptions of white subjects are continually placed centre stage and assumed as ‘normal’. These processes are analysed through two very different episodes. The first example relates to a period of public crisis, a moment where ‘what really matters’ is thrown into relief by a set of exceptional circumstances, in this case, the London bombings of July 2005. The second example relates to the routine and unexceptional workings of national assessment mechanisms in the education system and raises the question whether assessments merely record educational inequity or actually produce it. These apparently divergent cases are linked by the centrality of white interests and the mobilization of structural and cultural forces to defend white power at the expense of the racialized ‘Other’.
