I don’t want your financial support but I do hope we can sustain a conversation here about how to unbuild the institution and infrastructure of white sight. It’s a “constant struggle,” as Angela Davis reminds us, to create a practice of freedom, so there will be no once-and-for-all solution.

The events of 2020—especially the intersection of the pandemic with the George Floyd Uprising and the January 6 insurrection—inaugurated a general crisis of white sight in particular and whiteness in general. There’s been intense pushback, of course. But many—if not all—monuments have fallen. Museums are returning their colonial loot. The case for repair and reparations has been heard and is making headway.

Taken together, these practices form what I call the strike against white sight. This once-a-week newsletter will keep thinking about how to advance that action.
