Diversität 2: Critical Whiteness und (Anti-) Rassismus (Workshop)
Wie können wir in unseren Texten Figuren auftreten lassen, ohne (versehentlich) rassistische und verletzende Beschreibungen zu verwenden?

In der Literatur wird seit Jahren mehr Diversität gefordert und gefördert, doch viele Autor:innen, vor allem weiße, fühlen sich verunsichert und fragen sich, wie sie

Yesterday I received notification that the co-authored book chapter with @traceylloyd on critical whiteness in aged care and death care fields has been accepted!

Stay tuned for updates - I am incredibly proud of this chapter. We discuss the harms done to queer, disabled,female, migrant, global majority consumers and workers alike in these two rapidly growing fields.

Hey Fediverse, #bookstodon #bookstodongermany #blackmastodon #transtodon #leftodon
I talked my #neoliberal flatmate into reading some books about #feminism / #queerfeminism / #blackfeminism or similarly #leftwing books which would challenge his worldview.

Would you mind recommending some books for this purpose? #bookrecommendation

------------------------------------------------------------

There is a LOT to challenge. Some of his opinions:

* There is no structural #racism , only bad people and Nazis are racist (He is obviously not racist) i.e. introduction to #CriticalWhiteness

* You can get rich without #exploiting people

* Colonialism is bad, but it is in the past. We should put it behind us (and #Capitalism has nothing to do with #Colonialism )

* Everything is getting better with time/Society is always moving forward (whitewashed #history )

* There are only two biological sexes/binary biological sex exists ( #trans #genderstudies )

* The police is good for society and reduces crime (and racial profiling is okay apparently) #Abolition #Abolitionism

* What is #intersectionalism ? Never heard of it.

* #communism failed because it is doomed to fail, not because the USA intervened with military whenever there was an attempt at it.

* #Liberalism is no ideology, it is the center, between left and right, and therefore the best option because it can't be extreme.

#Germany didn't profit from Colonialism. Anyway after the 2nd World war we had nothing and we rebuilt germany on our own.

------------------------------------------------------------

Pls boost if you ever wanted to give a #liberal a reading list to challenge their views...
(Also books with #german perspectives would be awesome, because we're based in Germany and its too easy to put all the problems "somewhere else")

Some Books I thought about recommending him:

* Whipping Girl (Julia Serano)

* Was weiße Menschen nicht über #Rassismus hören wollen aber wissen sollten (Alice Hasters)
(Translates to: What white persons don't want to hear about racism, but should know)

* The Dawn of Everything (David Wengrow, David Graeber)

* At The Café conversations on #Anarchism (Errico Malatesta)

* #Abolitionismus - Ein Reader (Suhrkamp)

* Capital in the Twenty-First Century (Thomas Piketty)
