Klappentext zu „Theory of Racelessness “
This book presents a skeptical eliminativist philosophy of race and the theory of racelessness, a methodological and pedagogical framework for analyzing "race" and racism. It explores the history of skeptical eliminativism and constructionist eliminativism within the history of African American philosophy and literary studies and its consistent connection with movements for civil rights. Sheena M. Mason considers how current anti-racist efforts reflect naturalist conservationist and constructionist reconstructionist philosophies of race that prevent more people from fully confronting the problem of racism, not race, thereby enabling racism to persist. She then offers a three-part solution for how scholars and people aspiring toward anti-racism can avoid unintentionally upholding racism, using literary studies as a case study to show how "race" often translates into racism itself. The theory of racelessness helps more people undo racism by undoing the belief in "race."Inhaltsverzeichnis zu „Theory of Racelessness “

It would be a good use of monies for college and university libraries to snag a copy, and for professors and researchers to pester their administrators to make it available for their schools. ... it would be a valuable addition to your own personal collection. ... a book I highly recommend ... ."
