White Innocence: Paradoxes of Colonialism and Race by Gloria Wekker
challenging
informative
reflective

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.
