PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Kehinde Andrews is the UK's first professor of Black Studies, at Birmingham City University where he led the establishment of the first Black Studies programme in Europe, the Chair of the Harambee Organisation of Black Unity and editor in chief of Make It Plain. He is the author of Back to Black: Retelling Black Radicalism for the 21st Century and The New Age of Empire: How Racism and Colonialism Still Rule the World.
Kehinde Andrews' revelatory masterpiece bursts the bubble of pseudo-intellectual charm that surrounds and disguises the delusional philosophy of the racist societies we live in -- Danny Dorling The Psychosis of Whiteness serves as a testament to Kehinde Andrews' exceptional ability to shed light on the far-reaching mechanisms of racism -- David Lammy MP A crucial, incisive and highly accessible academic commentary on racism and the pernicious processes that keep it in place. For those lulled by the idea of progress, The Psychosis of Whiteness will tear the scales from their eyes -- Professor Nicola Rollock A phenomenal book - brilliant, revelatory, rebellious, rigorous, informative, entertaining and bloody funny. It has become one of my very favourite books. This is an important piece of work that will better our nation and better our understanding of this world -- Nels Abbey This is an important book, an honest book, and a book that anyone who disagrees with Kehinde would do well to read. I'm personally so grateful to Kehinde for presenting his experiences and insights in this way, because he offers a truly vital perspective on racism and racial inequity. For anyone seeking to empower themselves over a white supremacy that seeks to consume us all, this is genuinely an essential read. Witty, energising and refreshing, The Psychosis of Whiteness is a book of anti-racist activism from one of our most important thinkers in the field -- Jeffrey Boakye The inherent thinking and reasoning short circuits whiteness requires to sustain itself, have long been theorised but nowhere as accessibly, wittingly and humorously than in The Psychosis of Whiteness. A crucial contribution from Andrews to our epistemological understanding of racialised power, denialism and their operationalisation in society -- Guilaine Kinouani The Psychosis of Whiteness is a smart, essential and rational takedown of the myths that uphold white supremacy, and systems and people that promote it across our society -- Dipo Faloyin A book as thought provoking as its title. Kehinde Andrews continues to explore new areas of critical thinking, that while uncomfortable, is required in order for change to occur -- Yomi Sode Kehinde Andrews tells the truth to power. Courageous and very readable, this book is a remarkable and enriching work which shines a light on many dark places -- Ron Ramdin
