A language of perspicuous contrast helps critics study whiteness across locations

Evidence

Adrienne Rich’s insightful arguments in “Notes Towards the Politics of Location” (1986:210-31) have helped feminists to formulate similar questions in relation to gender, and I have also found it useful to adapt what Charles Taylor (1990) has called “a language of perspicuous contrast” in relation to the scrutiny of whiteness. — David Theo Goldberg, John Solomos, A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies, 781
