Whiteness, Racial Trauma, and the University

Beschreibung

This book focuses on the conceptual, historical, and material maintenance of "race" and race thinking, with a particular focus on racial trauma as a system of violence enacted on marginalised identities by systemic, narcissistic structures of white supremacy.

Autor

Harshad Keval is a writer and activist scholar, with special interests in race-critical and decolonial social theory, theories of coloniality and racism, antiracism, social justice and institutional power and resistance. His work journey has involved exploring medical anthropology, medical sociology, mental health, cultural epidemiology and international health, across European and global sites. He has worked as a shop assistant, textile factory worker, labourer, bar tender, data analyst, lecturer, and consultant to organisations aiming at racial justice in education. More recently he has written on race and genetics, race-based trauma and epistemologies of whiteness and institutional ignorance. He works across and beyond disciplinary boundaries and seeks to connect with spaces and voices of creativity and liberation that often lie beyond the epistemic and physical walls of traditional Euro-modern systems of knowledge and practice. He remains resolutely an outsider on the inside of academia.

Rezensionen

Keval writes an essential reading for all in HE. This book is the first in recent times to really present the state of UK HE from a truly liberatory perspective. He explores the damaging paradoxes at play in HE, but is able to tease, instruct, and enlighten the readers all at once. This literary work that is essential in today s incredibly violent and unjust marginalisation of people from the global majority.
