Writing against Postcolonial Imaginations: The White Race for a Weakening Patriarchy

Abstract [en]
This chapter is a writing against normalized and naked everyday racism and sexism in our society. Although it deals with recent structural transformations and their glocalized consequences, it focuses on micro-processes based on the intersection of class, gender and ethnicity/‘race’ for the reproduction of global inequalities. The chapter critically analyzes the medialized ‘love market’ and its otherization of ‘immigrant women’ as inferiorized to both white women and men equally.
