Roots Deeper Than Whiteness: Reckoning With Race & Reclaiming Ancestors | David Dean | HITW 215
<html><p><strong>Howling with activist and educator David Dean about his essay and forthcoming book entitled Roots Deeper Than Whiteness.</strong></p><p>“Roots Deeper than Whiteness is written to fundamentally transform the practice of white antiracism in the United States by offering white Americans a pathway to reclaim the very things that “whiteness” was designed to take from us: rich ancestral lineages of resistance to domination and clear knowledge of our profound stake in multiracial movement-building to challenge an economic system that sacrifices life on the altar of profit. </p><p>For too long these themes have not been present in mainstream models of anti-racism education or in well-known texts in this literary genre. Too often, white progressive readers are left with oversimplified understandings of white privilege, the sense that they have no meaningful lineage to hold on to, and little capacity to organize their communities from a place of compassion or mutual interest. Right-wing nationalist elites have also exploited these weaknesses by telling their white base that racial justice will cost them their jobs and their sense of who they are. We are in dire need of a new and empowering narrative that helps those of us who are white fully understand our past, roots us in richer soil, and unveils our fundamental belonging in multiracial struggle for a better world. </p><p>Roots Deeper than Whiteness answers this call. It offers those of us who are white a rooted identity, one tied to a deeper understanding of our history, that can give us the inner strength and political clarity we need to become genuine partners in the transformation of this society.”</p><p>— David Dean</p><p><strong>References:</strong></p><ul><li><p>Roots Deeper Than Whiteness essay by David Dean <a href="https://www.davidbfdean.com/roots-article" target="_blank">https://www.davidbfdean.com/roots-article</a></p></li><li><p>Harvest, 2024 film and book by Jim Crace</p></li><li><p>Silvia Federici, Caliban and the Witch: Women, the Body and Primitive Accumulation</p></li><li><p>Rebecca Parker and Rita Nakashima Brock, Saving Paradise: How Christianity Traded Love of This World for Crucifixion and Empire</p></li><li><p>Prudence Jones and Nigel Pennick, A History of Pagan Europe </p></li><li><p>Starhawk, Dreaming the Dark: Magic, Sex and Politics</p></li><li><p>Max Weber, The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism</p></li><li><p>Peter Linebaugh and Marcus Rediker, The Many-Headed Hydra</p></li><li><p>Nell I.
