  > So is she disagreeing with this? They (it's not a sole-author paper) are very clearly not endorsing it as a literal description, while also quite explicitly endorsing the detailed and nuanced description of the effects of inculcating White identity which Thandeka uses to explain that rather inflammatory summary description, and also, implicitly through scare-quoted back-reference, adopting the summary as a metaphor, though implicitly as one not free of problems.

    It's not "detailed and nuanced" to claim that raising white children to be white is wrong, nor is it to redefine whiteness as a kind of ignorance and and evil knowing this will be taken to mean white people (as commonly defined) are ignorant and evil.

    I don't see much nuance or texture there. I think this work is a scratch, has no epistemic standing, meaning, or utility. Modern academic methods are incredibly sloppy and non-rigorous, where they just make all these assertions and synthesize a bunch of bizarre abstractions and purport to describe reality. That's not how humans or any other sentients actually discover reality.
