Ruth Frankenberg's *White Women, Race Matters: The Social Construction of Whiteness* explores the racial dynamics experienced by white people, particularly white women, in the United States. The book challenges the notion that whiteness is an invisible or non-racial construct, arguing that it is a socially constructed identity with specific cultural and racial dimensions. Through life history interviews with diverse American white women, Frankenberg reveals how race privilege and dominance shape daily lives, often leading to an illusion of racial neutrality. She highlights the discursive landscapes that construct race, including essentialist racism, color- and power-evasion, and race- cognizant moments. The book also examines the intersection of race with gender, sexuality, and culture, suggesting that whiteness is not void but a normative category defined in relation to other cultures. Frankenberg's work is a significant contribution to understanding how race privileges are maintained and how they can be challenged, offering a nuanced perspective on the complex dynamics of white identity and its relationship to broader social processes.Ruth Frankenberg's *White Women, Race Matters: The Social Construction of Whiteness* explores the racial dynamics experienced by white people, particularly white women, in the United States.
