Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper draws on themes from The Vanishing Half and intersectionality theory to evaluate the usefulness of the term ‘white passing’ for psychological therapists, counsellors and psychotherapists exploring racial identity phenomena in their practice. The context for ‘white passing’ as a historic method for surviving racial injustice is discussed. This will involve consideration of how the systematic invisibility of whiteness has been a cause for harmful racialization of individuals past and present. The conclusion is that ‘white passing’ as a flattened identity label contains dangerous rhetoric about how far racialized individuals are allowed to ‘fit’ into society by those that oppress them.

探索“消失的一半”中的种族化主题:对于心理治疗师、咨询师和心理治疗师来说,“白人过境”一词是否是一种有效的方式来概念化种族身份?
摘要:本文以《消失的一半》和交叉性理论为主题,对心理治疗师、咨询师和心理治疗师在实践中探索种族认同现象时,“白过”一词的有用性进行了评估。本文讨论了“白人传递”作为种族不公正生存的历史方法的背景。这将涉及到对白人的系统性不可见如何成为过去和现在的个人有害种族化的原因。结论是,作为一种扁平的身份标签,“白过”包含了危险的言辞,即种族化的个体在多大程度上被那些压迫他们的人允许“融入”社会。
