Protesting Privilege

An Autoethnographic Look at Whiteness

University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

In this article, the author uses autoethnographic methods to interrogate her own White privilege. She argues that it is necessary to consider both how people are positioned as dominant as well as how they are positioned as marginalized to deconstruct persisting hierarchies of oppression. Drawing on a series of conversations that took place during the passage of several years, the author interrogates her willingness to hide behind her own minority identities and privilege, and she considers the importance of this undertaking to feminist politics and praxis.

Key Words: autoethnography • racialization • feminist theory • Whiteness • Judaism
