  • Thursday, March 18, 4 to 4:30 p.m. American history has long focused on non-white, moving easily between alternations in the meaning of race-as-color from “colored” to “Negro” to “black” to “African-American.”  But little attention has been paid to history’s discourse on the white race.  Nell Irvin Painter, in the book, “The History of White People,” reveals how a concept—whiteness—is not a fact, but an idea whose meaning, importance, and reality has been shaped by a long and rich history of events.  A decade in its research and writing, this seminal volume caps a remarkable career and will change the way we must think—and write—about the history of race and of color throughout the story of Western civilization.
