Postmodern Baby
"This book explains postmodernism to children ages 3 months to 3 years. When a baby hears a mob in the street chanting, White Silence Is Violence, this book explains in step 2 of 9 that it means, Use your words to talk about race. No one will see racism if we only stay silent. If we don't name racism, it won't stop being so violent. Antiracist use of the word violent in this book is postmodern language that originated in late 20th century French philosophy (e. g. the relationship between Platonic forms and real objects is violence). Academic activists extended postmodern meanings of the word violence into identity politics, and this book Antiracist Baby is one result. Parents can learn more from these books: • Cynical Theories: How Activist Scholarship Made Everything about Race, Gender, and Identity — and Why This Harms Everybody (Helen Pluckrose & James Lindsay, 2020) • The War on the West (Douglas Murray, 2022) Tags: Postmodern, Postmodernist, Postmodernism"
