Global White Ignorance. Mills, C. W. In Routledge International Handbook of Ignorance Studies. Routledge, 2 edition, 2022. Num Pages: 11abstract bibtex In this seminal chapter, Charles Mills considers the global significance of the concept of "white ignorance," defined as a type of an ignorance among whites—an absence of belief, a false belief, a set of false beliefs, a pervasively deforming outlook—that is not contingent but rather causally linked to their whiteness. As he explains in this work, Mills’ first formulation of the concept was focused mainly on the United States. This chapter explores the fact that insofar as the modern world has been created by European colonialism and imperialism, and insofar as racist assumptions/frameworks/norms were central to the theories justifying white Western conquest and domination of that world, white ignorance can be seen as global.
