<div>Theodore Allen (1919-2005) was an American independent,
self-taught, working-class intellectual, writer, and activist,
best known for his contributions to the struggle against white
supremacy, specifically his pioneering writings beginning in
1965 on the concept of white skin privilege and for his
seminal, two volume work The Invention of the White Race (1994
and 1997). His work details how the “white race” was invented
as a ruling-class social control formation and a system of
racial oppression was imposed in response to labor solidarity
in the wake of Bacon’s Rebellion (1676-77), how the “white
race” was created and maintained through privileges conferred
on laboring class European-Americans relative to
African-Americans, how these privileges were ruinous to the
interests of African-Americans and disastrous for laboring
class European-Americans, and how the “white race” has been
the principal historic guarantor of ruling-class domination in
America.</div>
