历史学家 Painter 将她关于种族分类的重要研究聚焦于奴隶贸易以及在18世纪主导美国的建国历程，当时以 Ralph Waldo Emerson 为首的思想家竭力在白人优越论的背景下解释美国的飞速进步。她的研究屡屡带来令人震惊的发现，揭示出我们所谓的种族分类实际上是多么脆弱且短暂。

对这个话题感兴趣的人都应该读读 Nell Irvin Painter 写的《白人的历史》（The History of White People），她在书中展示了在美国，“白人”这一定义是如何演变并把越来越多的人群纳入其中的。比如在 18 世纪，德裔美国人根本不算……
Anyone interested in this topic should read "The History of White People" by Nell Irvin Painter, who shows how in America the very definition of "white" has changed to include a widening circle of people. For example, in the 18th century, German Americans weren't considered…
……我不这么认为。但这确实很重要，就像楼主那篇关于种姓制度的文章一样，体现在日常生活中成百上千次的微小互动里。我强烈推荐 Painter 博士的《白人的历史》。[0] [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_History_of_White_People
…don't think so. But it does matter, in the same way the OP article on caste matters, in hundreds to thousands of small interactions over the course of every day life. I highly recommend Dr. Painter's The History of White People. [0] [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_History_of_White_People
其他评论者列出的名单里还得加上犹太人。Nell Irvin Painter 的《白人的历史》深入探讨了这个观点。
Add Jews to the list other commenters have provided here. “The History of White People” by Nell Irvin Painter covers this idea in depth.
……出于按某种共性归类的社会目的，血统群体在区分个体是相似还是不同方面起着最关键的作用。我从 Nell Irvin Painter 的《白人的历史》http://www.amazon.com/History-White-People-Irvin-Painter/dp/... 这本书里学到了一个让人耳目一新的有趣事实：古希腊作家绝大多数都认为，造成不同人群差异的原因……
…lineage group matters most in making distinct human individuals more or less alike for the social purpose of grouping them by some commonality. One refreshingly interesting fact I learned from the book The History of White People by Nell Irvin Painter http://www.amazon.com/History-White-People-Irvin-Painter/dp/... is that the ancient Greek authors were overwhelmingly of the opinion that what made different people groups different…
关于“白人身份（whiteness）”的历史建构和欧洲种族分类学的另一部杰作是 Neil Irvin Painter 的《白人的历史》。米歇尔·福柯 70 年代末关于从诺曼征服以来的欧洲话语中种族战争历史的讲座也有英文印刷版，虽然我一时想不起名字了……
Another great text on the historical cultivation of "whiteness" and European racial taxonomies is Neil Irvin Painter's "The History of White People". Michel Foucault's late 70s lectures on the history of race war in European discourse from the Norman Conquest onward are also available in printed form in English though I can't recall the name right…
今天早上 NPR 上有个片段，写了《白人的历史》的那位女士解释说，白人谈到种族问题会感到不自在，是因为种族对他们来说从来都不是个问题。她的观点是，现在既然当白人成了一件“坏”事，白人就想去忽视……
There was a segment on NPR this morning where a woman who wrote "The History of White People" explained that white people are uncomfortable talking about race because it has never been a problem for them. Her argument was that now that being white is a "bad" thing, white people want to ignore…
