dc.description.abstractThis thesis examines which strategies/behaviors white self-proclaimed non- or anti-racist students employ when they are confronted with everyday racism. This qualitative research was conducted at Binghamton University, NY, and it involved interviewing ten white students who studied and lived there. From the retrieved data, three strategies were deducted and analyzed. These include silence, confrontation and separation. These strategies are explained through an analysis of the intersection of the body, language and space, since the body is understood as a starting point that has the ability to produce language and space, but also take up space. Analyzing these strategies through this intersection allows for new understandings of the workings of racism and whiteness, especially in relation to non- or anti-racism.en_US
