Description
Race: A Philosophical Introduction provides an accessible guide to understanding the complex and often misunderstood concept of race. Paul C. Taylor explores the main features and implications of race-thinking, drawing on the ideas of influential thinkers such as Linda Alcoff, K. Anthony Appiah, W. E. B. Du Bois, Michel Foucault, Sally Haslanger, and Howard Winant.
The book delves into five key questions: What is race-thinking? How do we discuss race in a way that is respectful and meaningful? Is there a concept of 'race' beyond biology? What does it mean to have a racial identity? And how important is colorblindness in our society? Taylor also examines topics such as mixed-race identity, white supremacy, and the impact of race-thinking on our personal lives.
This comprehensive introduction to philosophical race theory is suitable for both educated general readers and students and scholars in related fields. The second edition includes a new concluding chapter that explores the racially charged issues of policing, immigration, and global justice.
