SUMMARY:The Making of American Whiteness
DESCRIPTION:The Making of American Whiteness\nPresented by Dr. Carmen P. Thompson\, in conversation with Dr. Darrell Millner\nThursday\, April 6\, 2023\, at 5:30pm\nAt the Oregon Historical Society\, Portland\nFree and open to the public \nRegister Here \nThe Making of American Whiteness: The Formation of Race in Seventeenth-Century Virginia changes the narrative about the origins of race and Whiteness in America. With an exhaustive range of archival documents\, Carmen P. Thompson demonstrates not only that Whiteness predates European expansion to the Americas — as evidenced by European participation in the transatlantic slave trade since the fifteenth century — but\, more importantly\, that Whiteness was the principal dynamic in the settlement of Virginia\, the first colony in what would become the United States of America. Just as the system of White supremacy was the principal order that fueled the transatlantic slave trade\, it was likewise the framework that drove the organization of civil society in Virginia\, including the organization and structure of the colony’s laws; its social\, political\, and economic policies; and its system of governance. This book shows what Whiteness looked like in everyday life in the early seventeenth century\, finding it eerily predictive to Whiteness today. \nDoors will open at 5:30pm\, and a short program will begin at 6pm. Books will be available for purchase and signing by the author through the OHS Museum Store\, and light refreshments will be served. Learn More
