Professors Murphy and Choi use postmodern philosophy to expose
an important source of racism and cultural domination. They examine
foundationalism, which they see at the core of the Western
intellectual tradition and which is shown to foster a metaphysics
of domination. By contrast, postmodernism undermines this root of
racism.
They demonstrate that foundationalism is not needed to support
identity, institutions, or political order. Indeed, they assert
that true pluralism is possible once foundationalist approaches to
knowledge and order are set aside. Special attention is directed to
two current modes of discrimination: institutional racism and
symbolic violence. Murphy and Choi provide an intriguing look at
ways to undercut the justification for racism and other threats to
cultural difference. This volume will be of particular interest to
scholars and other researchers in the areas of race relations,
cultural studies, and political theory.
