This book introduces and explores the relation between race and
phenomenology through varied African American, Latina, Asian
American, and White American perspectives. Phenomenology is best
known as a descriptive endeavor to more accurately describe our
experience of the world. These essays examine the ways in which
this relation between phenomenology and race acts as a site of
racial meaning. Philosophy of race conceives race as a social
construction. Because of the sedimentation of racial meaning into
the very structure and practices of society, the socially
constructed meanings about features of the body are mistaken as
natural. Hence although racial meaning is theoretically recognized
as socially constructed, during an every-day interaction, racial
meaning is mistaken as inevitable and natural. Phenomenology
facilitates precisely understanding this confusion of a social
construction as natural. Race is a phenomenon. Ideal for advanced
students in phenomenology and philosophy of race, this volume
pushes phenomenological method forward by exploring its relation to
questions within philosophy of race.
