There is a discursive tendency when examining questions of race and racism to address a reader who is implicitly white. This discursive orientation limits the range and rigour of our research questions and proposals. In addressing a white reader who is potentially hostile, or suffers from ‘white ignorance’, we find ourselves beginning our analyses, not from a historiographic survey of the question, but from a pre-emptive justification that we should continue to pose it at all. Drawing on literary theory and Africana philosophy, I conclude that in order to redress the racist, epistemological strictures of a discursive orientation toward whiteness, we need to explicitly reorient our discursive voice toward a non-white reader
