Abstract
Teri McMurtry-Chubb’s Race Unequals: Overseer Contracts, White Masculinities, and the Formation of Managerial Identity in the Plantation Economy offers groundbreaking insights into the gendered economic hierarchies internal to the body politic of Whiteness through its examination of the limitations that plantation overseers’ contracts in the American Deep South placed on their ability to exercise the proprietorship and contracting authority prerequisite to White identity. This Essay uses the Ukrainian campaign to be recognized as a liberal White nation, and formally become a member of the West, as a contemporary case study of how Whiteness remains hegemonized, and subject to the ability of individuals and states to negotiate the full or partial benefits of global White citizenship.
