White Innocence: Paradoxes of Colonialism and Race by Gloria Wekker

3.0

Truly valuable and insightful read, and I enjoyed her sarcastic frustration at points. However, it sometimes felt like the case studies or 'vignettes' were a little haphazard. Also, this book will speak very well to people that already agree with Gloria (as I did), but will not expose Dutch culture and identity in a way that will convince *others* of the hypocrisy and paradoxes that she discusses. It would have been a lot more valuable if it would actually be able to convince others as well.
