《白人》(1998)是这一研究领域的关键著作之一，种族主义是如何发生的，这部作品和他对城市文化的研究都是建立在这一著作的基础上的。这本书巩固了利普西茨作为种族理论和历史著作的主要贡献者之一的地位。正如利普西茨指出的那样，2008年巴拉克·奥巴马当选总统表明，种族状况有所改善，但他的书描述了基于这些变化对种族的常见误解。利普西茨写道，根据这一观点，“黑人已经证明自己根本不适合自由”，因为“在民权法律明确禁止歧视的时代，种族不平等的持续存在表明，黑人无法利用为他们提供的机会”(第1页)。在有力而令人信服的写作中，利普西茨审视了这种信念的问题，并提供了对塑造种族继续在社会中工作的方式的广泛背景和多重因素的见解。尤其是，他展示了“当社会关系在实际的地方发生时，它们是如何充分发挥其力量和意义的”(第5页)。其中一个

This book strengthens Lipsitz’s position as one of the major contributors to theoretical and historical works on race. As Lipsitz notes, racial conditions have improved, as indicated by the election of Barack Obama in 2008, but his book describes a common misunderstanding of race based on these changes. Lipsitz writes that according to this view,“Black people have shown themselves to be simply unfit for freedom” because “in a time when civil rights laws clearly ban discrimination, the persistence of racial inequality demonstrates that Blacks have been unable to take advantage of the opportunities afforded them”(p. 1). In powerful and compelling writing, Lipsitz examines the problems with this belief and provides insights into the broad context and multiple factors that shape the ways race continues to work in society. In particular, he shows “how social relations take on their full force and meaning when they are enacted physically in actual places”(p. 5). One of the
