The consequences of getting it white.
Abstract
Drawing upon the literary theory of Toni Morrison and the work of White study scholars, the authors propose a theoretical approach to using the deconstruction of Whiteness to teach high school English. Demonstrating this approach with Faulkner's short story, "Barn Burning," the authors propose it may help students overcome "superstitious race thinking," if teachers equip themselves with the knowledge of White identity development theory.
