A bold examination of questions about whiteness and race
Shannon Sullivan Livres
Shannon Sullivan explore les intersections de la philosophie féministe, de la philosophie critique de la race, du pragmatisme américain et de la philosophie continentale. Son travail enquête sur la manière dont ces domaines s'entrecroisent et façonnent notre compréhension de l'identité, des préjugés et des structures sociales. Sullivan se concentre sur la nature transactionnelle des corps, les approches pragmatiques du féminisme et la révélation des habitudes inconscientes du privilège racial. Elle examine de manière critique le problème de l'antiracisme blanc de classe moyenne et la physiologie de l'oppression sexiste et raciste.
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.
