White utopias conflates
Jordana Rosenfeld’s book review of White Utopias shows some serious confusion (October 2020). Rosenfeld’s language conflates spiritual growth with the trendy issues of social justice.
I can answer the question posed by the review’s title — “Is spiritual growth possible without confronting whiteness?” — in one word: Yes. That’s because spiritual growth has nothing to do with confrontation. In fact, it has no social, racial, intellectual, academic or political prerequisites in order for it to occur.
