Most importantly, Yancy further conceptualizes the possibility of forging a coherent antiracist white subject position which he finds exemplified in some of the positive responses to his letter.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p&gt;}, number={57}, journal={KULT_online}, author={Winkler, Robert Alfred}, year={2019}, month={Jan.} }
