Solidarity, community and the political economy of hurt

Abstract

This paper considers whether as anti-racist activists we can form a community of solidarity. Critiquing the issue of 'whiteness', I consider whether such a community reflects or actually confronts the structures of a political economy of whiteness. Using both academic literature and narrative research I reflect on my own experiences of racism and hurt. These emotional and important issues are then intertwined within the political economy of whiteness.
