Stances of Whiteness and Hegemony in Fraternity Men's Discourse

In this article I explore how a group of White men display and reaffirm their hegemonic social position through in‐group discourse. The men do not baldly assert such positions; rather, they create local relationships by indexing elements of wider racial ideologies and cultural models, thus reinforcing these ideologies and models. This view of "doing Whiteness" suggests that identities of all types are performed less directly (both ideologically and indexically) than often thought.
