520    "White identity is in ferment. White, European Americans 
       living in the United States will soon share an 
       unprecedented experience of slipping below 50% of the 
       population. The impending demographic shifts are already 
       felt in most urban centers and the effect is a national 
       backlash of hyper-mobilized political, and sometimes 
       violent, activism with a stated aim that is simultaneously
       vague and deadly clear: 'to take our country back.' 
       Meanwhile the spectre of 'minority status' draws closer, 
       and the material advantages of being born white are 
       eroding. This is the political and cultural reality 
       tackled by Linda Martín Alcoff in The Future of Whiteness.
       She argues that whiteness is here to stay, at least for a 
       while, but that half of whites have given up on ideas of 
       white supremacy, and the shared public, material culture 
       is more integrated than ever. More and more, whites are 
       becoming aware of how they appear to non-whites, both at 
       home and abroad, and this is having profound effects on 
       white identity in North America. The young generation of 
       whites today, as well as all those who follow, will have 
       never known a country in which they could take white 
       identity as the unchallenged default that dominates the 
       political, economic and cultural leadership. Change is on 
       the horizon, and the most important battleground is among 
       white people themselves. The Future of Whiteness makes no 
       predictions but astutely analyzes the present reaction and
       evaluates the current signs of turmoil. Beautifully 
       written and cogently argued, the book looks set to spark 
       debate in the field and to illuminate an important area of
       racial politics."--Publisher's description.
