In Authenticating Whiteness: Karens, Selfies, and Pop Stars, Rachel E. Dubrofsky explores the idea that popular media implicitly portrays whiteness as credible, trustworthy, familiar, and honest, and that this portrayal is normalized and ubiquitous. Whether on television, film, social media, or in the news, white people are constructed as believable and unrehearsed, from the way they talk to how they look and act. Dubrofsky argues that this way of making white people appear authentic is a strategy of whiteness, requiring attentiveness to the context of white supremacy in which the presentations unfold. The volume details how ideas about what is natural, good, and wholesome are reified in media, showing how these values are implicitly racialized. Additionally, the project details how white women are presented as particularly authentic when they seem to lose agency by expressing affect through emotional and bodily displays. The chapters examine a range of popular media—newspaper articles about Donald J. Trump, a selfie taken at Auschwitz, music videos by Miley Cyrus, the television series UnREAL, the infamous video of Amy Cooper calling the police on an innocent Black man, and the documentary Miss Americana—pinpointing patterns that cut across media to explore the implications for the larger culture in which they exist. At its heart, the book asks: Who gets to be authentic? And what are the implications?

The text is oriented to graduate students and researchers within communication studies as well as media studies, cultural studies, critical race and ethnic studies, American studies, sociology, and education, while still being accessible to upper-level undergraduate students.

‘I view my rage as a productive emotion, which has power to save and transform … my rage is a catalyst for personal and social change consistent with the call of God to be full of the Spirit and also battle against the principalities and powers of this world that seek to demean and destroy through oppressive practices, systems and institutions.’How can we make sense of the complex phenomenon of Black rage, and use it in a positive way so that it becomes a constructive force in our lives? As a Black theologian exploring the relationship between religion and culture – including film, hip-hop and identity politics - Robert Beckford describes some of the issues that give rise to Black rage and offers suggestions for how it might be embraced and redeemed.By developing an image of God as one who sides with those who experience righteous rage or rahtid (a Jamaican derivation of the biblical word for wrath), Beckford shows how rage at racialised oppression - including the ‘low-level’ rage caused by everyday injustices - can be transformed into a force for good in society. He points to a new way forward through redemptive vengeance, based on the liberating witness of Jesus.

This dissertation constructs a vocabulary of passing by examining African American and/or Gay and Lesbian strategies of entrance into representation in the early to mid-twentieth century. Employing an interdisciplinary approach to read such texts as Jessie Redmon Fauset's Plum Bun, Joan Nestle's A Restricted Country, the Supreme Court brief for Plessy v. Ferguson, and John Howard Griffin's Black Like Me, this projects links a study of passing to the "problem" of identity, a problem to which passing owes the very possibility of its practice. Taking as my starting point a peculiarly American tradition of posing race and sexual preference as opposite ends of a culture of "readable identity," the project is structured as a series of interpretive frames through which to consider the relation between passing and those visual models of identity that sustain its plausibility. Chapter One introduces the central argument of the project: by replacing the inadequate dichotomy of visibility and invisibility with an acknowledgement of multiple registers of intelligibility, identity politics can most productively be considered a skill of reading. My second chapter considers the African American narrative of passing and the customary intersection of the passing plot and the marriage plot in the context of the minstrel logic of Jim Crow. In contrast to the limited subversion of the pass articulated by Chapter Two, my third chapter explores Plato's "Allegory of the Cave" as a narrative of passing that throws the fundamental logic of social hierarchy into disarray. This tension between the theoretical threat contained by the logic of passing and its relation to the narrative and social conventions of race and gender is addressed by my fourth chapter where I consider the white-authored passing narrative and the dangerous consequences of a disembodied politic of universality. Taking up the issue of appropriation through a detailed reading of an historical instance of passing--the 1892 Supreme Court case Plessy v. Ferguson--my last chapter considers the problematics and possibilities of resistance in a visual culture.
