Linking Plateaus and Whiteness to Fieldwork In "Riddims of the Street, Beach and Bureaucracy: Situating Geographical Research in Jamaica," Paul Kingsbury and Thomas Klak have opened an ambitious effort to find a new way to think about our engagement with 'the field.' This effort is marked by two important moments, the idea of the 'plateau' as a site of situated researcher-researched interaction, and thinking about the ways in which a consideration of 'whiteness,' as thought through the critical geographic literature, might serve to decenter the researcher. If there is a regret I have about this paper, it is that the authors did not go as far as they might have to link these two moments into the important methodological critique for which I think they have opened a path. That is to say, the experience of moving through various plateaus as presented through the authors' 'riddims' serves to highlight the relational character of one's identity as a researcher, and as such serves to decenter this otherwise nonrelational identity and the politics that go along with it.

Kingsbury's and Klak's (2005, 252) presentation of the plateau as "a local space that regularly exhibits a distinctive combination of social forces" might, at first glance, seem unremarkable. Indeed, this definition seems quite similar to Doreen Massey's (1994, 120) definition of place as:

particular moments in . . . social relations, nets of which have over time been constructed, laid down, interacted with one another, decayed and renewed. Some of these relations will be, as it were, contained within the place; others will stretch beyond it, tying any particular locality into wider relations and processes.

But what is being decentered through the experience of a plateau? Here Kingsbury and Klak approach an understanding of the 'researcher identity' through the idea of whiteness, but I am concerned that this concept might muddy their central point. By focusing on whiteness, it seems to me that the authors run the risk of obscuring the most important idea they wish to draw from recent treatments of this concept-that there are situations in which particular identities are shaped non-relationally, and these situations breed particular politics and power relations that should be decentered and, wherever possible, addressed. This is not only true of white identity, but in the context of a discussion of fieldwork epistemologies it is true of 'the researcher.' I fear this point may be lost because the (white) authors are working in a 'non-white place,' where whiteness matters quite literally. However, this observation holds even in contexts where there is...
