White before whiteness in the late Middle Ages - Manchester Medieval Literature and Culture
Kao, Wan-Chuan (Assistant Professor of English)
This ground-breaking book analyses premodern whiteness as operations of fragility, precarity and racialicity across bodily and nonsomatic figurations. It argues that the ‘before’ of whiteness is less a retro-futuristic temporisation than a set of strategies and discursive praxes that produce and yet delimit a range of medieval ideological regimes. -- .
