Philosophers have separated the subjects of ethics and race. But
every issue concerning race is an ethical issue. Ethics and Race
approaches historical and contemporary issues of race and racism,
on an ethical/moral foundation that the student is encouraged to
think with. The 24 chapters encompass the history of race in ideas
and events, including both law and culture. Throughout the book,
race is inclusively discussed--black, white, Asian, Native
American. Topics within the book are coherently organized through
six sections: I. Ideas and History of Race, II, Law and Policy,
III, Social Institutions, IV Social Disruptions, V. Identity and
Representation, VI, The National and International World. Key
features include the following: Up to date scientific findings
concerning race are clearly explained, to add to reasoning from the
ethical foundation; Affirmative Action and Diversity, as well as
current events from protests from Left and Right, and police
killings are addressed; The relevance of race to the effects of
disaster and climate change is explained; White privilege is
considered and white racial status is introduced as an important
factor that has led to current political impasse and cultural
oppositions; Racial identity, included mixed race is considered, as
is race and gender and media representation. Ethics and Race mainly
addresses race and race relations in the United States, but
international issues and examples are included. Humanism, as
derived from global thought is proposed in the final chapter.
However, while Ethics and Race treats issues of race as a moral
subject, with suggested moral foundations, the student is not told
what to conclude on any of these issues. This is an important
opportunity, through thought, discussion, and writing questions,
for the student to think through contemporary issues concerning
race, on explicit moral foundations, and construct their own chains
of reasonings. Students may also bring in their own experience, as
relevant.
