- More about Liminal Whiteness in Early Us Fiction
Hannah Lauren Murray argues that early US authors repeatedly imagined lost, challenged, and negated White racial identity in the new nation, using the language of liminality to channel fears of losing Whiteness.

Hannah Lauren Murray's research reveals that early US authors frequently depicted, questioned, and undermined White racial identity in the new nation. Through a Critical Whiteness analysis of canonical and lesser-known works by Charles Brockden Brown to Frank J. Webb, Murray contends that White characters on the threshold of life and death were liminal entities that disrupted established notions of racial belonging in the early US. The fear of losing Whiteness was often expressed through the language of liminality, foreshadowing contemporary White anxieties about marginalization and minority status.
