This article argues for implementing a Critical Whiteness studies approach to canonical White literature. After providing an overview of Critical Whiteness studies, I discuss examples from teaching nineteenth-century American literature where Critical Whiteness approaches are fruitful. Alongside widening the selection of what we teach in English departments, incorporating Critical Whiteness studies as part of decolonizing the curriculum reorients how we teach canonical White literature that remains on our syllabi and supports students to recognize continuing discourses of White supremacy today.

批判性白人研究与十九世纪美国文学教学

本文主张对经典白人文学实施批判性白人研究方法。在提供了批判性白人研究的概述之后，我讨论了教授 19 世纪美国文学的例子，其中批判性白人方法是富有成效的。除了扩大我们在英语系所教内容的选择范围外，将批判性白人研究作为非殖民化课程的一部分重新定位了我们如何教授经典的白人文学，这些文学仍然保留在我们的教学大纲中，并支持学生认识到当今白人至上主义的持续话语。
