Euro-American (manifesto)

BLB 13, December 2015

Euro-American names a specific people, not a universal norm. It refers to those whose ancestors came from Europe, settled in North America, intermingled, and became American nationals within a landscape already inhabited and shaped by others.

This manifesto rejects “white” as a meaningful description of human being. “White” is understood here as a historical construction that flattened diverse European ancestries into a single category of dominance, obscuring both the complexity of origin and the violence of its ascent.
