Whiteness, Cida Bento, privilegeAbstract
When conceptualizing the narcissistic pact of whiteness, Cida Bento is not describing secret and exclusive meetings of white people in squares, at parties or in educational institutions. The Brazilian intellectual highlights that “narcissistic pacts require silent complicity from all members of the dominant racial group and that the anti-humanitarian acts that their ancestors practiced be paid for and forgotten” (BENTO, p. 121, 2022). The legacy of this silencing is the main discussion presented in the author's new work, which illustrates how whiteness (re)produces a logic of erasing true events, establishing its parameters as universal, kind and morally correct.
