As the historian Nell Irvin Painter has cautioned, 'white identity didn't just spring to life full-blown and unchanging'. It had important antecedents that included a growing sense of a pan-European identity; longstanding cultural associations that saw white as a symbol of purity and virtue; and bog-standard ethnocentrism. Still, with only slightly exaggerated precision, we can say that one of the most crucial developments in 'the discovery of personal whiteness' took place during the second half of the 17th century, on the peripheries of the still-young British empire. What's more, historians such as Oscar and Mary Handlin, Edmund Morgan and Edward Rugemer have largely confirmed Du Bois's suspicion that while xenophobia appears to be fairly universal among human groupings, the invention of a white racial identity was motivated from the start by a need to justify the enslavement of Africans. In the words of Eric Williams, a historian who later became the first prime minister of Trinidad and Tobago, 'slavery was not born of racism: rather, racism was the consequence of slavery'." https://www.theguardian.com/news/2021/apr/20/the-invention-of-whiteness-long-history-dangerous-idea #WebsiteStuffWhitePeopleLikeSWPL [Wikipedia] #MetaphorPeriodization17thCentury #PhenomnWhiteness #IRLAuthorTaNehisiCoates #IRLSociologistWilliamEdwardBurghardtDuBois #IRLHistorianNellIrvinPainter #ToponymEmpireBritish #IRLHistorianOscarHandlin #IRLHistorianMaryFlugHandlin #IRLHistorianEdmundMorgan #EDUUSYaleUniversityEdwardRugemer #OtheringHateXenophobia #PowerControlChattelSlavery #IRLHistorianEricWilliams [Wikipedia] #ToponymCaribbeanTrinidadAndTobago
