This chapter interrogates the paradox of whiteness as an unmarked racial category. It was prompted by our collective concern surrounding the treatment of the prominent Black British politician and Member of Parliament, Diane Abbott in 2023. The controversy surrounding Diane Abbott’s comments about racism in the UK are used to develop a discussion about the centrality of whiteness to the racial frame, and its curious, enigmatic absence in much critical work around criminal justice and criminology. Extending work begun with Alpa Parma and Coretta Phillips (2020), I suggest more sustained and systematic engagement with scholarship around race, whiteness, and coloniality can enhance criminology’s critical potentials.

摘要

This chapter interrogates the paradox of whiteness as an unmarked racial category. It was prompted by our collective concern surrounding the treatment of the prominent Black British politician and Member of Parliament, Diane Abbott in 2023. The controversy surrounding Diane Abbott’s comments about racism in the UK are used to develop a discussion about the centrality of whiteness to the racial frame, and its curious, enigmatic absence in much critical work around criminal justice and criminology. Extending work begun with Alpa Parma and Coretta Phillips (2020), I suggest more sustained and systematic engagement with scholarship around race, whiteness, and coloniality can enhance criminology’s critical potentials.
