How to Unlearn White Supremacy?

The article pursues the question of how solidarity between white and non-white people can be possible in the face of centuries of dehumanization of non-white life. It focuses on the construction of whiteness as supposedly ‘superior’ and the question of how whiteness can be unlearned. The authors base their reflections on the philosophical concept Ubuntu, in order to clarify what would be necessary to escape from this deep imbalance back to a humanity that is not subject to hierarchization.

Abstract

The article pursues the question of how solidarity between white and non-white people can be possible in the face of centuries of dehumanization of non-white life. It focuses on the construction of whiteness as supposedly ‘superior’ and the question of how whiteness can be unlearned. The authors base their reflections on the philosophical concept Ubuntu, in order to clarify what would be necessary to escape from this deep imbalance back to a humanity that is not subject to hierarchization.
