While white South Africans continue to enjoy considerable power at the top levels of industry, they have become a demographic minority, politically subordinate to the black South African population. To be white today means having to adjust to a new racial paradigm. In this book, Jacob Boersema argues that this adaptation requires nothing less than unlearning racism: confronting the shame of a racist past, acknowledging privilege, and, to varying degrees, rethinking notions of nationalism. Drawing on more than 150 interviews with a cross-section of white South Africans--representationally diverse in age, class, and gender--Boersema details how they understand their whiteness and depicts the limits and possibilities of individual, and collective, transformation. He reveals that the process of unlearning racism entails dismantling psychological and institutional structures alike, all of which are inflected by emotion and shaped by ideas of culture and power. Can We Unlearn Racism? pursues a question that should be at the forefront of every society's collective consciousness. Theoretically rich and ethnographically empathetic, this book offers valuable insights into the broader sociological process of unlearning, relevant today to communities all around the world."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a White people $x Race identity $z South Africa. 650 0 $a White people $z South Africa $x Attitudes. 650 0 $a Racism $z South Africa. 650 0 $a Post-apartheid era $z South Africa. 651 0 $a South Africa $x Race relations. 650 6 $a Personnes blanches $z Afrique du Sud $x Attitudes. 650 6 $a Racisme $z Afrique du Sud. 650 6 $a EÌre post-apartheid $z Afrique du Sud. 651 6 $a Afrique du Sud $x Relations raciales. 650 7 $a Post-apartheid era. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01072728 650 7 $a Race relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086509 650 7 $a Racism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086616 650 7 $a White people $x Attitudes. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01174817 650 7 $a White people $x Race identity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01174825 651 7 $a South Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204616 776 08 $i Online version: $a Boersema, Jacob R. $t Can we unlearn racism? $d Stanford, California : Stanford University Press, [2021] $z 9781503627796 $w (DLC) 2021018465 941 $a 1 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20230817010139.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=612E86C23CC311EE8B657E6F2BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
