Abstract
People of colour and our knowledges are out of place and out of joint in this world. In management and organisation studies and the academy more broadly, an epistemology of ignorance has sidelined considerations of race and silenced critiques of whiteness in order to maintain the prevailing racial order that upholds white power/privilege. The effects of the white mythos are theorised by M. Jacqui Alexander as a material and psychic dismemberment that dislocates people of colour from ourselves and our communities. When whiteness ordains itself the epitome of intellect and virtue, the racialised ‘Other’ is left to contend with their redefinition as deficient as well as the resultant pain, shame, and isolation. Following Alexander, this essay explores how we may ‘re-member’ our wholeness and remake the academy and the world through an anti-racist politics of transformation.
