Witte onschuld: Paradoxen van kolonialisme en ras by Gloria Wekker

 
Read June 2020

An interesting read about an important subject. I loved that it specifically spoke about the Netherlands.

I did have a really hard time with the academic writing though. Especially the first half (chapters 1, 2 & 3.) Not sure why that changed in the second half (chapters 4, 5 & 6.) They felt easier to read, but I don’t know if that’s because something changed in the writing or if I just got more used to the academic style.
