Racial Trauma
Experiencing Whiteness in the University
- Harshad Keval - Edinburgh Napier University , UK
September 2023 | 120 pages | SAGE Publications Ltd
In this book Harshad Keval offers an intensely personal testimony of racial trauma within the academy. Proposing the theoretical model of “white narcissistic structures” the author traces the paradox of academic institutions simultaneously embracing a progressive and neo-liberal “cos-play” while continuing to generate and maintain racial trauma.
