Several literatures including those focusing on settler colonialism, critical antiracism as well as ethnic studies and sociology more broadly often position racial injustice and genocide as a struggle against whiteness and white supremacy. Here I use my own positionality to illustrate what might be unseen in the current thinking about the meaning of what whiteness entails. Then I propose the preliminary workings of a nonbinary approach to thinking about racial justice and reconciliation that still centers the specific experiences of oppression but that does not also entail blaming a particular group as oppressor. While I focus on Canada and responsibility for Indigenous genocide and, to some extent, anti-Black racism, my hope is that the theoretical logic will also be of utility for thinking about moving forward on issues of racial justice and genocide in other contexts.
包括关注定居者殖民主义、批判性反种族主义以及更广泛的民族研究和社会学在内的一些文献常常将种族不公正和种族灭绝视为反对白人至上和白人至上主义的斗争。在这里,我利用自己的定位来阐明当前关于白人至上主义含义的思考中可能被忽视的问题。然后,我提出了一种非二元性的思考种族正义与和解的初步方法,这种方法仍然以压迫的具体经历为中心,但并不意味着将特定群体视为压迫者。虽然我专注于加拿大对原住民种族灭绝的责任,以及在某种程度上对黑人的种族主义,但我希望这种理论逻辑也将有助于思考在其他背景下推进种族正义和种族灭绝问题。
