'White' explores how, while racial representation is central to the organization of the contemporary world, white people have remained a largely unexamined category in sharp contrast to the many studies of images of black and Asian peoples. Looking beyond the apparent unremarkability of whiteness, Dyer demonstrates the importance of analyzing images of white people. Dyer places this representation within the contexts of Christianity, 'race' and colonialism.
