Noel Ignatiev, a former steelworker who became a historian known for his work on race and class and his call to abolish whiteness, died at Banner-University Medical Center Tucson on Saturday. He was 78. The cause was an intestinal infarction, according to Kingsley Clarke, a longtime friend. Ignatievs best-known book, How the Irish Became White, was immediately influential and controversial upon its publication in 1995. It touched off a firestorm of debate at the time at academic conferences and in the pages of newspapers. In time his view that whiteness is a social and political construction and not a phenomenon with a biological basis has become mainstream. The resurgence of white identity politics and white nationalism in recent years made Ignatievs arguments relevant to a new generation of readers who argued the notion that race is more about power and privilege rather than about ancestry, or even identity.

Wasn’t mighty white of him.
If he walked into the light, I wonder what color it was?

That’s a good day for America. He was an actual card carrying communist, and member of the SDS in the 1970s.
