MWP 3 Article #2

Reviewing Whiteness: Theory, Research, and Possibilities by Meredith Green, Christopher Sonn, and Jabulane Matsebula give an overview on the “Whiteness Complex’ and how it is running rampant in South Africa as well as Australia.  The begin by defining Whiteness as “something that places white people in dominant positions and grants white people unfair privileges, while rendering these positions and privileges invisible to white people” (454) and how it is reproducing at an accelerated rate even though White-Africans no longer hold the majority party.  The apparent purpose of this article is to inform people that “Whiteness” is a real and relevant issue in order to demonstrate that it is the MAIN component in racial inequality in South Africa and if this issue is not addressed then Black-Africans will never truly be equals with White-Africans.  The audience for the journal could be anyone interested in race issues in South Africa.
