Abstract

Our essay provides a provocation supporting the special issue of the International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education’s titled “Why antiracism and critical whiteness now?” As editors, we circulated its call knowing that the conditions of our work in race and whiteness studies had changed. In our essay, we work through the special issue’s central question via the critical psychoanalytic notion of identification ruptures. Autobiographically and then historically-socially un-suturing ourselves and work, we subjunctively sketch a conceptual geography of the empire of whiteness on-the-rise.
