What White People Can Do Next: From Allyship to Coalition
by Emma Dabiri
An accessible, concise and compelling read. Definitely one of the best I've read on the topic. Her arguments are sound, from the need to critically examine toxic 'whiteness' itself, as well as the need to go beyond allyship in a racist/capitalist world to try and build something more radical and new through coalition. The anti-racism movement should seek to dismantle capitalism and racism itself, which ultimately is bad for everyone and the planet, rather than focus on privilege and existing power structures. I also totally agreed with the problems of 'performative' activism - as she puts so well, now days people seem to spend more time saying something, than actually doing anything! Look forward to learning more through the number of helpful references throughout.
