TY - JOUR PY - 2011// TI - Dismantling whiteness: Silent yielding and the potentiality of political suicide JO - Contemporary Political Theory A1 - Jungkunz, V. SP - 3 EP - 20 VL - 10 IS - 1 N2 - This article attempts a re-configuration of silence, suicidal identity deconstruction and the politics of anti-racism. I will explore the potential of dismantling whiteness by way of a silence that involves the refusal to claim whiteness, a whiteness that, in effect, denies humanity to others. Such silences are insubordinate, as they challenge the hegemony of a racialized polity, attempting to resist its privileges, as well as its destructive and restrictive consequences. © 2011 Macmillan Publishers Ltd.
