Description

Twenty years since its initial release, Richard Dyer's groundbreaking study White remains a significant work in understanding the representation of whiteness in Western visual culture.

This insightful analysis explores how white people have been largely overlooked in favour of studies focusing on images of black and Asian peoples. By examining representations of white people beyond their apparent unremarkability, Dyer sheds light on the importance of analysing these images within specific contexts such as Christianity, 'race', and colonialism.

The 2017 edition includes a new introductory chapter by Maxime Cervulle, which provides a fresh perspective on Dyer's work and its ongoing relevance to contemporary regimes of representation.
