Description
Race and ethnicity have become two of the most loaded and contested concepts in the contemporary world. Philosophies of Race and Ethnicity aims to disentangle this complexity and guide the reader to a clearer understanding of the debates.Analysing the genealogy, meanings and political uses of the concepts of race and ethnicity, Philosophies of Race and Ethnicity draws on the best scholarship from philosophy, history, post-colonial studies, political theory and literary studies to explore the structure, status and scope of these concepts.Contributors: Linda Martin Alcoff, Chetan Bhatt, Rey Chow, Rebecca Karl, David Macey, Naoki Sakai, Bill Schwarz, Denise da Silva, Francoise Verges, Robert J. C. Young

Reviews
"By approaching race thinking across a broader range of contexts than is usual and by investigating it with an attention to historical specificity that is still regrettably rare, Philosophies Of Race And Ethnicity makes a unique contribution to the development of a transcultural approach to critical race theory."--Robert Bernasconi, The University of Memphis
"What binds these fascinating essays together is their focus on heretofore neglected aspects of race and the ways in which they broaden our understanding of this issue in many different contexts...The multidisciplinary approach exemplified by these authors provides sound modeling for future contributions to a topic that is likely to become increasingly salient with each passing day." -Geneva S. Reynaga, Janus Head * Blurb from reviewer *
