On Forms and Lines of Flight ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
Kenneth Bailey is the co-founder of the Design Studio for Social Intervention ([link removed]) (DS4SI). His new book (co-authored with DS4SI) is entitled Ideas-Arrangements-Effects: Systems Design and Social Justice ([link removed]) . In this video, he reminds us of the work of political theorists Gilles Delezue and Feliz Guattari when he says, “We don’t need to have one line of flight toward liberation." He calls for a wider definition of forms: “When we find ourselves in conflict, we think that it’s us, and often it’s the form—the form has produced the thing, because the form affords a certain thing.”

Whiteness Is the Greatest Racial Fraud ([link removed])
Boston Review, January 13, 2021

What is racial fraud and how is it possible? The Krugs and Dolezals dominate the headlines, but they are distractions from the fraud that imperils us all...

I think the subtlest version—the fraud of whiteness itself—is the one we should be most concerned about, for it is by far the most destructive to our polity. To understand its stakes, we must see how it differs from two other, more familiar types of racial fraud.
