Description
Racist States of Mind: Understanding the Perversion of Curiosity and Concern by Narendra Keval explores the complex and often contradictory nature of racist thought. The author delves into the ways in which racist states of mind can manifest, often masquerading as a desire for diversity and inclusivity. These states of mind are characterized by a toxic mix of anxieties, feelings, and fantasies that can lead to a collapse of empathy and a sense of superiority over others. The author suggests that these fantasies are deeply ingrained in psychic life and functioning, and can be found in both subtle and overt forms of racism. By examining the underlying dynamics of racist thought, Keval sheds light on the ways in which racism can damage our capacity for curiosity and concern for others, leading to a rupture at the core of identity and the self.
