n this week's episode, guest Moon Charania discusses her article "Ethical Whiteness and the Death Drive: White Women as the New War Hero," which examines how contemporary films use white women protagonists to justify drone warfare and military intervention in the Middle East. Charania argues that media mobilize the figure of the suffering brown girl to elicit empathy and to assuage Western audiences' guilt about collateral damage in neo-colonial wars. Through what Charania calls "ethical whiteness", Global North citizens can promote humanitarian causes to rescue Global South brown girls from numerous atrocities without interrogating how their own governments are responsible for creating the conditions for such atrocities.
