The Oxford Handbook of Philosophy and Race provides up-to-date
explanation and analyses by leading scholars of contemporary issues
in African American philosophy and philosophy of race. These
original essays encompass the major topics and approaches in this
emerging philosophical subfield that supports demographic inclusion
and diversity while at the same time strengthening the conceptual
arsenal of social and political philosophy. Over the course of the
volume's ten topic-based sections, ideas about race held by Locke,
Hume, Kant, Hegel, and Nietzsche are supplemented by suppressed
thought from the African diaspora, early twentieth-century African
American perspectives and Native-, Asian-, and Latin-, American
views. The contributors bring philosophical analysis to bear on the
status of racial divisions as categories of humanity in the
biological sciences, as well as within contemporary criticism and
conceptual analysis. Essays present the special applications of
American philosophy and continental philosophy to ideas of race as
methodological alternatives to more analytic approaches. As a
collection of analyses and assessments of 'race' in the real world,
the volume pays trenchant and relevant attention to historical and
contemporary racism and what it means to say that 'race' and racial
identities are socially constructed. The essays analyze
contemporary social issues including the importance of racial
difference and identity in education, public health, medicine, IQ
and other standardized tests, and sports. Additionally, the essays
consider the societal limitations and structures provided by public
policy and law. As a critical theory, the volume compares the study
of race to feminism. Historical and contemporary, academic and
popular, racisms pertaining to male and female gender receive
special consideration throughout the volume. While this
comprehensive collection may have the effect of a textbook, each of
the original essays is a fresh and authentic development of
important present thought.
