In Staging Whiteness, Brewer offers textual readings of plays by American and British twentieth-century playwrights, some canonical and some who fall outside the mainstream, looking at how whiteness as an identiy is created onstage, and how this has changed historically. She argues that fonfigurations of whiteness are dispersed and reflected through discourses that range from theory to literature and common social language, and that discursive performances of whiteness ar e crucial feature of everyday social interactions.
