A bold examination of questions about whiteness and race
Shannon Sullivan Boeken
Shannon Sullivan verkent de kruispunten van feministische filosofie, kritische rassenfilosofie, Amerikaans pragmatisme en continentale filosofie. Haar werk onderzoekt hoe deze gebieden elkaar raken en ons begrip van identiteit, vooroordelen en sociale structuren vormen. Sullivan richt zich op de transactionele aard van lichamen, pragmatische benaderingen van feminisme en het blootleggen van onbewuste gewoonten van raciaal privilege. Ze onderzoekt kritisch het probleem van middenklasse wit antiracisme en de fysiologie van seksistische en racistische onderdrukking.
The book advocates for a revised approach to anti-racism specifically tailored for middle-class white individuals. It emphasizes the importance of developing a new ethos that encourages deeper understanding and more effective engagement in combating systemic racism. By exploring the unique position and responsibilities of this demographic, the author calls for a transformative shift in attitudes and actions to create meaningful change in society.
