Despite persistent questioning of its value and conceptual sustainability,
whiteness studies have continued to gain popularity and momentum over
the last couple of decades. Indeed, the number of works committed to the
study of whiteness shows no sign of abating, cementing the discipline’s
place in academia and, to some, providing evidence of its “coming of age”
(Steyn and Conway 2010: 284). Yet, even as this field continues to grow,
some commentators have lamented the slow pace of whiteness uptake,
and have demanded more production on this front (Nyamnjoh 2012). This
review article is devoted to understanding how, if at all, the concept and
practice of whiteness is useful to historical analysis.
