Review # 1 was written on 2020-07-13 00:00:00 Stephen Lewis Interesting theories and examples of how ignorance is a essential part of white supremacism. Not just ignorance of personal experiences with minorities, but wilfully and maintained ignorance of ones owns peoples history. For example white racist do not know much about the history of Indian genocide or Trans-Atlantic slave trade, because knowing it, would make defending white supremacy immoral and evil. But most of articles in this book are the worst examples of postmodernist Marxist writing that i have read so far. You have to be some kind of master philosopher and sociologist to understand the cryptic theoretical text to understand most of the things that the authors are trying to argue. Without the examples i would hardly have understood anything. And i have studied postmodernist Marxist theory! For my, if a book is hard to understand, it is not good.
