Disrupting White Mindfulness offers a timely commentary on the
dominant narratives that shape the mindfulness industry -
whiteness, postracialism and neoliberalism. Its positioning as
'apolitical' forges institutions that fit comfortably into
increasingly divided societies. The race-gender profile of these
institutions reveals a White, middle-class profile of
decision-makers, educators and staff that is mirrored in its
audiences. Mechanisms that recycle the industry's whiteness include
corporatist pedagogies, edicts of authority, disengagement with
difference and inappropriate uses of mindfulness that distance
People of the Global Majority. A growing emergent movement focused
on a justice-infused mindfulness and liberatory wellbeing
decolonises mindfulness and de-centres whiteness. Its premise in
indigenous, global South, queer knowledges leverages difference to
produce multiple solutions focused on liberation. There is room for
White Mindfulness to change. -- .
