In "Race: A Philosophical Introduction, Second Edition ," Paul C.
Taylor provides an accessible guide to a well-travelled but
still-mysterious area of the contemporary social landscape. As in
the first edition, the book blends metaphysics and social
philosophy, analytic philosophy and pragmatic philosophy of
experience. In this thoroughly updated and revised volume, Taylor
outlines the main features and implications of race-thinking, while
engaging the ideas of such important figures as Linda Alcoff, K.
Anthony Appiah, W. E. B. Du Bois, Michel Foucault, Sally Haslanger,
and Howard Winant. The result is a comprehensive but accessible
introduction to philosophical race theory and to a non-biological
and situational notion of race. The book unfolds in a sequence of
five chapters, each devoted to one of the following questions: What
is race-thinking? Don't we know better than to talk about race now?
Are there any races? What is it like to have a racial identity? And
how important, ethically, is colorblindness? On the way to
answering these questions, "Race "takes up topics like mixed-race
identity, white supremacy, the relationship between the race
concept and other social identity categories and the impact of
race-thinking on our erotic and romantic lives. The second
edition's new concluding chapter explores the racially fraught
issues of policing, immigration, and global justice, and
interrogates the thought that Barack Obama has ushered in a
post-racial age. This volume is suitable for the educated general
reader as well as for students and scholars in ethnic studies,
philosophy, sociology, and other related fields.
