Abstract

Our essay provides a provocation answering the research question why antiracism and critical whiteness? As a racially mixed research collective, we use essay and relevant “data” sources to grapple with the central question via the critical psychoanalytic notions of conceptual (self-)geography and identification ruptures. Autobiographically and historically/socially un-suturing ourselves, we subjunctively sketch a conceptual geography of a reinvigorated empire of whiteness on-the-rise.
