Conceptualising Whiteness in the Black Imagination
Rianna Walcott’s research explores the literary treatment of black protagonists in London in the wake of post WWII migration from the West Indies. How do black conceptualisations of racial and national identity vary across generations? and how do black diasporic subjects create spaces of agency from which to observe and discuss whiteness?
