Deleuze and Guattari used the biologicalconcept of Rhizome to represent the complex connections between individuals and systems,individuals with other individuals, and systems with other systems; a sociologicalrepresentation. Mycorrhiza shares most of Deleuze and Guattari's [12] Rhizome’sprinciples1. Mycorrhiza mainly differs from the Rhizome in that (a) the Mycorrhiza couldbe predicted (imagine being able to predict what a new node or connection would do to thepart of the network) and (b) its connections with other beings and nature are as important asthe connections between humans

colleagues (2014) define CWS as a way to “problematize the normality of hegemonicwhiteness” because most white people “deflect, ignore, or dismiss their role, racialization, andprivilege in race dynamics” [37, p.291]. The field of CWS owes much of its foundation toscholars and authors of color such as W.E.B. DuBois, Ida B. Wells, bell hooks, Toni Morrison,C.L.R. James, and Carter G Woodson who spoke to the gaze of Whiteness. These historicalunderstandings of race and Whiteness also derive from theorizing colonization and itssubjectivation of the colonized by people such as Albert Memmi, Frantz Fanon, ÉdouardGlissant, Suzanne and Aimé Césaire, Sylvia Wynter, and Jean-Paul Sartre.Describing whiteness Whiteness is the way that white people’s
