Abstract:
"For sixty years, Noel Ignatiev provided an unflinching account of "whiteness"-a social fiction that has for centuries been an unmitigated disaster for all working-class people, including the white ones. This new essay collection from the late firebrand covers the breadth of his life and insights as an autodidact steelworker, a groundbreaking theoretician, and a bitter enemy of racists everywhere"--
