Written by one of America's leading philosophers, "Race and Social
Justice" provides a powerful analysis of the enduring problems of
race and social justice in American life. McGary examines African
American alienation and exploitations, black reparations,
collective responsibility, affirmative action, race and I. Q.,
police discretion, racial integration and racial separatism, the
underclass question, and the logic of interracial coalitions. The
volume is marked by its interdisciplinary approach, depending on
work in African American history and literature as well as recent
work by legal scholars, political scientists, and sociologists who
have wrestled with race and racism.
African American philosophers have challenged the position that
the African American experience cannot serve as a source of
philosophical illumination. Philosophers like Anthony Appiah,
Bernard Boxill, Bill Lawson, Michele Moody-Adams, Adrian Piper, and
Laurence Thomas have employed traditional analytical methods in
their examinations, while others like Leonard Harris, Lewis Gordon,
Frank Kirkland, Lucius Outlaw, Cornel West, and Naomi Zack have
embraced methodologies that are more characteristic of the
Continental and Post Modern methodologies. These authors, each in
their own way, have started a dialoge that has now worked its way
into the pages of academic journals and onto the programs of
philosophy conferences and meetings." Race and Social Justice"
joins and extends these discussions, providing essential reading
for anyone with an interest in this field of debate and study.
