Critical Whiteness Studies

Famous quotes containing the words critical, whiteness and/or studies:

    “You took my heart in your hand
    With a friendly smile,
    With a critical eye you scanned,
    Then set it down,
    And said: It is still unripe,
    Better wait awhile;”
    —Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)

    “The wanton snow flew to her breast,
    Like pretty birds into their nest,
    But, overcome with whiteness there,
    For grief it thaw’d into a tear:
    Thence falling on her garments’ hem,
    To deck her, froze into a gem.”
    —William Strode (1602?–1645)

    “[B]y going to the College [William and Mary] I shall get a more universal Acquaintance, which may hereafter be serviceable to me; and I suppose I can pursue my Studies in the Greek and Latin as well there as here, and likewise learn something of the Mathematics.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
