Description
Racist Culture offers an anti-essentialist and non-reductionist account of racialized discourse and racist expression. David Theo Goldberg demonstrates that racial thinking is a function of the transforming categories and conceptions of social subjectivity throughout modernity. He shows how rascisms are often consistent with prevailing social conceptions, particularly of the reasonable and the normal, and how these norms are being extended and renewed by dominant categories in present-day social sciences. This normalization of racism reflects in the way certain concepts are used in Western societies, mirroring similar approaches in other contexts. Goldberg concludes with an argument for a pragmatic, antiracist practice, one that challenges prevailing notions of reason and normality to promote a more inclusive understanding of human experience.
