A review by pietgotlieb
White Innocence: Paradoxes of Colonialism and Race by Gloria Wekker

challenging informative reflective tense medium-paced

4.0

In explaining the book's contents to my family, I could check off every single response white Dutch individuals have to accusations of racism according to Wekker, in attempt to preserve their self- and group-image. This real-world reflection brought the book up from a 3.5 to a 4 to be honest. The main points of this book should be part of educational curricula across the Netherlands.
