This article makes a case for the need to analyse the production, reproduction and reconfiguration of Whiteness not just in the Global North but also the Global South, due to connected histories, geographies and sociologies. Additionally, we articulate the need to do so from an intersectional approach and consider methodological aspects of, and epistemological impediments to, studying Whiteness. Contemporary developments show that Whiteness is transforming and emboldening its power and influence through mobilizing in novel ways, through appeals to new geographies and peoples and by diversifying its constituents. Understanding the changing and newer configurations of global Whiteness is essential, as these dynamics also sustain and intensify the resistance Whiteness mounts when its supremacy is questioned
