All scholarly books are engagements with the existing
literature, often the published scholarly work of one established
discipline. This book originated with modest objectives, to produce
a work that would be in conversation with the literature of
international relations even though not of relevance only to that
field. The professed goal of international relations is
international peace. The ethical lens of pondering the best means
to achieve world peace is used to filter media content in the field
of multiculturalism and anti-racism.
Although there has been little work on the impact of racial
difference on the contours of contemporary international order,
there has been a sizeable body of research intended to abolish the
credibility of pseudo-scientific racism. Such racism has provided
the ideological foundation and justification for imperialism,
colonialism, the holocaust, and apartheid. Race has been debunked
as a myth. Because of this, racism the ideology bred of human
classification according to racial difference has been found to be
intellectually and morally barren. But the need to communicate
egalitarian and scientific sentiments remains.
The contributors to this volume consider five questions: How
does the literature on antii1/2racism improve our understanding of
conflict resolution? How does the analysis of the mediai1/2s role
in racist and anti-racist discourses improve the process of
theorizing on hate and war propaganda? How can research on
anti-racist discourse improve UN peacekeeping? What implications
does this subject have for theory-building and cultural diversity?
How and why should the literature on anti-racism expand research in
international relations? This is a unique, worthwhile framework for
cross-disciplinary research in race and intellectual consensus and
conflict.
