The book critiques the emerging global racial sensibility that gained traction after George Floyd's murder, focusing on how it encourages white individuals to confront their internalized emotions and conflicts. It argues that this therapeutic approach ultimately preserves existing white racial attitudes while claiming to foster allyship. Utilizing Michel Foucault's theories alongside sociological and psychoanalytic insights on shame, the work explores new perspectives for envisioning white anti-racist engagement, challenging the effectiveness of current discourses.
