Annotation:
	Argues early modern literary and visual texts "represent and render womanhood as a specifically and singularly white construction." Considers how this establishes "co-constitution" of gender and race and how white womanhood is "mobilized to underwrite the operations of violence and enslavement." Examines formations of white womanhood in plays by Shakespeare including Othello, Comedy of Errors, and more.
