Description
Summary:[...]as already stated above, Wekker thinks of race, sexuality and gender together in an intersectional frame. [...]she links metropolitan and colonial history in her analyses; and lastly, she links the Eastern and Western spheres of Dutch imperialism. [...]the subtitle of the chapter ‘Or, Where did all the Critical White Gay Men go?’. Wekker’s argument that whiteness exempts itself from charges of racism through claims of innocence is innovatively built up by moving her analytical gaze across a very disparate range of objects – from TV talk shows, psychoanalytical case study, popular controversies around tradition, literary analysis, and institutional critique.
