Spitting into the Wind: White Pathology and the Struggle for Racial Habilitation - Hardcover

by Jerome C. Crichton (Author)

This work directly addresses the Western Academy's failure to subject Whiteness and White supremacy to the same behavioral analysis it applies to other groups. It poses the essential, yet suppressed, question: What are the pathological dimensions of White identity and behavior? The book is not a polemic. It is a multidisciplinary analysis, using the tools of dominant thinkers and disciplines to diagnose what I term "White Pathology." It also centers the voices of Black thinkers, not as a secondary feature, but as the essential critical foundation for this analysis. The current political "blitzkrieg"-the banning of books, the erasure of historical artifacts, the legislative assault on truth-is a panic-driven response to exactly this kind of unmasking. This book provides a diagnostic framework and a blueprint for "White racial habilitation," the necessary process of healing and unburdening the world of oppression.
