142 / Reckoning With Whiteness / Tad Hargrave

Writer Tad Hargrave joins me in this episode to discuss his work exploring, unpacking, and addressing the concept and social reality of whiteness—more broadly the roots, or lack thereof, of “white culture” as we understand it to be today. Tad and I discuss the difficult subject of race, in particular the modern and the relatively recent—historically speaking—formation of the concept of whiteness. To be labeled and exist as a “white” person in our current era is to live with certain privileges within the dominant culture of North America, some of which are subtle, and many of which are not. // Episode notes: https://www.lastborninthewilderness.com/episodes/tad-hargrave // Sustain + support: https://www.patreon.com/lastborninthewilderness // Donate: https://www.paypal.me/lastbornpodcast
