White Minds

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"Essential: gripping, challenging, sustaining, potentially transforming reading for those fearful of grappling through the violence of whiteness, but who brave to go there anyway!" Shona Hunter, Co-editor of the Routledge Handbook of Critical Studies in Whiteness "A powerful, clearly written critical work on the mundane or everyday violence and cruelty of white supremacism and the conditions through which its fragility and projections are protected. A must-read for those who are afflicted to know and understand with increased clarity and guidance for constructive action." Lewis R. Gordon, author of Fear of Black Consciousness "An incisive, forensic unpacking of what whiteness does, how it unravels the willing and unwilling actors in its gaze and, importantly, provides a range of psycho-social critical ideas to process it." Harshad Keval, Edinburgh Napier University "A compelling critique of the psychological dynamics and harms of whiteness - elucidating the interplay of psychic and institutional processes in unjust outcomes." Joanna Wilde, Consultant Organisational Psychologist "A fascinating guide to naming, surviving, refusing and unmaking whiteness in the hope of liberation for all." Sadiah Qureshi, University of Birmingham "A striking analysis of the white psyche, this is an urgent, powerful call to interrogate whiteness within and without and to transform the world." Stephanie Davis, Nottingham Trent University "A nuanced analysis [which] clearly articulates the epistemic and material realities, power relations and psychic harms of white supremacy. With honesty, rigour and consequence, White Minds is a powerful must-read for anybody interested in the continuing violences of white supremacy in all of its insidious guises." James Trafford, Author of Empire at Home: Internal Colonies and the End of Britain "An exceptional work that shines a necessary light on Whiteness, making the invisible seen so that we can understand how White supremacy impacts our lives." Kehinde Andrews, Birmingham City University "Both powerfully academic and deeply personal, this painfully phenomenological excavation of the experiences of enduring the oppressive gazes of whiteness is a deserved addition to the field." Dwight Turner, University of Brighton
