" Atkin] succeeds in creating new paths for breaking through
epistemic boundaries of how one typically thinks about race and, by
doing so, provides an opportunity to rethink current beliefs and
practices regarding racism. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division
undergraduates through researchers/faculty." - M.W. Westmoreland,
Villanova University, CHOICE (May 2013) "Atkin crisply addresses
the ongoing reality of race and racism after the disconnection of
race from biological science. Comprehensive, balanced, clear,
engaging and accessible for all academic levels." - Naomi Zack,
University of Oregon Race is so highly charged and loaded a concept
it often hampers critical thinking about racial practice and
policy. A philosophical approach allows us to isolate and analyse
the key questions: What is race? Can we do without race? What is
racism and why is it wrong? What should our policies on race and
racism be? The Philosophy of Race presents a concise and up-to-date
overview of the central philosophical debates about race. It then
builds on this philosophical foundation to analyse the
sociopolitical questions of racism and race-relevant policy.
Throughout, the discussion is illustrated with a wide range of
examples: Afro-American 'blackness'; British-Asian racial
formation; Aboriginal identity in Australia; the racial grouping of
Romany-Gypsies and Jews in Europe; categories of race in Brazil;
and the concept of model minorities in the US and UK.
