Another book that might illuminate the subject of "whiteness" in a
broader vein is James G. Carrier, ed., *Occidentalism: Images of the
West*.
There is also a remarkably rich South African literature on the
subject of whiteness and its construction; I would include Rian
Malan, *My Traitor's Heart*, Marq de Villiers, *White Tribe
Dreaming*, Vincent Crapanzano, *Waiting*, and possibly judging from
what I've heard of it, Saul duBow's new book *Scientific Racism in
Modern South Africa*.
There was also an issue of the *Village Voice* a ways back with a
bunch of stories published under the heading "White Like Me"; I can
probably dig out the exact cite if anyone's interested.
