WHITE FREEDOM - TYLER STOVALL GEBUNDEN

The era of the Enlightenment  which gave rise to our modern conceptions of freedom and
democracy  was also the height of the trans-Atlantic slave trade. America  a nation founded on
the principle of liberty  is also a nation built on African slavery  Native American genocide 
and systematic racial discrimination. White Freedom traces the complex relationship between
freedom and race from the eighteenth century to today  revealing how being free has meant being
white. Tyler Stovall explores the intertwined histories of racism and freedom in France and the
United States  the two leading nations that have claimed liberty as the heart of their national
identities. He explores how French and American thinkers defined freedom in racial terms and
conceived of liberty as an aspect and privilege of whiteness.
