for Libby Zeleke


THE FACT OF THE MATTER is that it is almost impossible for European societies as they are to eliminate racism in a thoroughgoing way. Racism is not simply a set of attitudes and practices that they level toward us, their socially constructed ‘other’, but it is the very principle of self-definition of European/Western societies. It could be said that what is otherwise known as European civilization – as manifested in the realm of arts and ideas – is a sublimated, formalized or simply a practiced version of racism.

– Himani Bannerji, Thinking Through


ANYWHERE but in Europe it is we whites who ‘smell bad’. And I would even say that we give off an odour as white as the gathering of pus in an infected wound. As iron can be heated until it turns white so it can be said that everything excessive is white … white has become the mark of extreme decomposition.

– Antonin Artaud, The Theatre and its Double
