Description

Alana Lentin argues that society is in urgent need of developing the skills of racial literacy. She contends that race critical scholarship can help us understand how and why race matters, even when it seems to be less relevant.

Lentin examines misconceptions about race, such as reverse racism and 'race realism', and challenges common criticisms of identity politics. Her work also warns against using concerns about antisemitism as a proxy for antiracism.

By exploring these issues, Lentin shows why we need to talk more about race and how doing so can help make it matter less. This book is a powerful refutation of the idea that we should stop discussing race in our post-racial society.
