In this book based on the biographical accounts of upper-middle-class white
men living in wealthy parts of Rio de Janeiro, Valeria Ribeiro Corossacz
analyzes specific experiences of whiteness as they are produced at the
intersection of multiple categories—in particular gender, class, and
sexuality. *White Middle-Class Men in Rio de Janeiro: The Making of a
Dominant Subject *investigates what it means to be classified as a white
person and a man in a society that is known for its valorization of racial
mixing and yet deeply structured by racism, class, and gender inequalities.
By examining instances of silence and what is left unsaid as well as
precise descriptions of power relations and violent episodes, this book
encourages the reader to observe the condition of dominant subjects as a
keystone of the reproduction of social discrimination.


*Valeria Ribeiro Corossacz *is associate professor of anthropology at the
Università di Modena e Reggio Emilia, Italy
