Summary:
"Critical whiteness studies is an offshoot of critical race theory that Thandiwe Ntshinga believes is desperately needed in South Africa. She pokes holes in the belief that leaving whiteness undisturbed for analysis creates justice and normalcy. Instead, she says perpetually studying the 'other' hinders our development. The title of this book comes from one of the first comments she received on Tiktok when discussing her findings and research."-- Publisher's description.
