Chi ha paura di decostruire il proprio razzismo?
Brandon Breen
Abstract
In her sixth book, Italian-Rwandan author Marilena Umuhoza Delli examines the multiple ways in which racism manifests in contemporary Italy, ranging from microaggressions to forms of colorblind racism, which she conceptualizes as neoracism. Conceived both as a resource for educational settings and as a tool for individual reflection, Chi ha paura del lupo bianco? (Who’s Afraid of the White Wolf?) adopts an accessible style and a candid narrative voice aimed at maintaining the engagement of a white Italian readership and encouraging critical awareness of racism in everyday life. The volume incorporates an intersectional perspective and includes interactive questions and group exercises, alongside reading recommendations and an extensive bibliography. These elements highlight both the scope of the research underpinning the work and the author’s capacity to address a broad audience. The article concludes with an overview of Delli’s oeuvre and an invitation to engage with her first novel in its forthcoming English translation.
