直到最近，种族和族裔社会学，除了少数几个明显的例外，一直主要关注少数民族和基于肤色的种族主义形式。然而，随着一系列学科的发展，人们对白色种族问题和白色的含义给予了新的关注。本文认为，三种可辨别的方法来批判白度研究，并专注于发展唯物主义，解构主义和精神分析框架之间的富有成效的对话。作者认为，这些剧目的不同之处在于试图废除、解构或重新思考白人和白色身份的意义，因为它们目前的立场。作者认为，这些立场中的每一个都可以激发对白色身份的质疑，这种质疑能够扰乱更传统的种族调查焦点，从而在该领域产生新的理论和政治实践。文章最后指出了白色种族研究的一些局限性，并主张更多的国际方法，以抵消狭隘的可能性“白色研究”的议程。有人建议，新的地理白度可以取代建设的关键白度研究作为西方的追求，并开放研究人员的全球性的解释和后殖民的理解，这样的种族标记。
Until relatively recently the sociology of race and ethnicity, with a few notable exceptions, has been predominantly concerned with ethnic minorities and colour-based forms of racism. However, developments across a range disciplines have seen a new attention given to the question of white ethnicity and the meaning of whiteness. This paper considers three discernable approaches to critical whiteness studies and is focused on developing a productive dialogue between the materialist, deconstructionist and psychoanalytic frameworks identified. The author argues that these repertoires differ in seeking to abolish, deconstruct or rethink the meaning of whiteness and white identities as they currently stand. It is suggested that each of these positions can inspire an interrogation of white identities capable of disturbing the more traditional focus of race enquiry to engender new theory and political practices in the field. The article concludes by pointing to some of the limits of white ethnicities research and argues for more international approaches to offset the parochial possibilities of a ‘white studies’ agenda. It is suggested that new geographies of whiteness can displace the construction of critical whiteness studies as a Western pursuit and open up researchers to a global interpretation and postcolonial understanding of such race markers.
