“In Desire for Development: Whiteness, Gender, and the Helping Imperative, Barbara Heron draws on poststructuralist notions of subjectivity, critical race and space theory, feminism, colonial and postcolonial studies, and travel writing to trace colonial continuities in the post-development recollections of white Canadian women who have worked in Africa. Following the narrative arc of the development worker story from the decision to go overseas, through the experiences abroad, the return home, and final reflections, the book interweaves theory with the words of the participants to bring theory to life and to generate new understandings of whiteness and development work. Heron reveals…
“The central concern of this book is to raise awareness of the fact that racism and language are closely linked. Many terms in use today have a history of colonialist, racist meanings that are still expressed today. The aim of the book is to show how terms relating to Africa are used in a racist way in the broadest sense and what concepts are conveyed by their use. The book is meant to make people think who think they have been speaking reflectively for a long time. Many are not aware that terms like ‘half-breed’, ‘black continent’, ‘primitive’ or ‘chief’…
Henning Melber 2001: Der Weissheit letzter Schluss: Rassismus und kolonialer Blick. Frankfurt: Brandes & Apsel “Everyday thinking in Europe is still characterized by the colonial view of the cultures of other continents. Subtly and unconsciously, they are ordered, hierarchized, excluded or belittled. It is only through the devaluation of the foreigner that it is possible to legitimize white domination and superiority and to establish them in people’s minds and hearts. That we are confronted today not only with the remnants of these ideologies, but also with their further developments, is aptly and vividly documented in this book. However, Melber is…

“Jana is not allowed to play – she’s just a girl. And the dark-skinned Benjamin is annoyed: everyone always calls him chocolate chip cookie. Lisa doesn’t want to sit next to Dennis – he’s so fat! And Songül and Murat are not allowed in the dolls’ corner – they talk so funny. Even young children are familiar with prejudices. They learn early on that origin, skin color, language or gender are not neutral, but are associated with evaluations. What can educators do to promote togetherness? And what do children need to experience differences as positive and enriching? The renowned editor…
“Right-wing extremism is only the tip of the racist iceberg, which would melt without support in society. Federal German society is entangled in racist discourse. This manifests itself particularly clearly in the dominant images of Africa in West German society, in which colonial perspectives on Africa and Africans continue to have an almost unbroken effect to this day. Theoretical discussions of historical backgrounds and current manifestations of racism are complemented in this anthology by analyses of images of Africa in the media, films, science, fiction, museums and schools. Policy actors and scholars provide insight into Africa-related policy approaches.” (blurb) Susan…
