Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered
I recognise the name - a middle-class South Asian Canadian legal studies professor - friend of Abbie Bakan I think.
This can be misleading too
Just because someone sees something as a form of national (seeing black as a nation in the US) resistance, doesn't mean it is not part of a wider class and/or gender exploitation.
If we look at the history of Palestinian women, for instance, you have had until comparatively recently huge social pressure to give birth to and raise more children to provide new fighters/militants.
Look at women part of traditional Islamic sections of society in the Middle East, pressure to Islamist movements
No clue as to what the conceptualisation will be though, only
The conclusion seems to rest at:
If anti-racism and anti-sexism are discarded for anti-white privilege and anti-male privilege, the lower-class bracket of the categories of whites and males will be excluded and prey to backlash forces, but for what gain?
There's no way for a man to be a feminist or a white person to be a black nationalist, if those movements are to have any meaning at all.
It's easy for a middle-class white to stand up and say 'I'm an in-built racist and my behaviour shows it, however much I want to not show it' because they have money, foreign holidays and multiple cars.
It's harder when you are a working-class white to say things on these lines because immigration remains an element of capitalist-imposed division, whilst you are fighting to stay afloat. People are eager to assert their non-racism towards citizens and their loyalty to defending their position (low as it is) from potential attack by migrants on visas and permits. How adding the privilege concepts will help I don't know.
