Philosophy of Race: An Introduction provides plainly written access to
a new subfield that has been in the background of philosophy since Plato
and Aristotle. Part I provides an overview of ideas of race and
ethnicity in the philosophical canon, egalitarian traditions, race in
biology, and race in American and Continental Philosophy. Part II
addresses race as it operates in life through colonialism and
development, social constructions and institutions, racism, political
philosophy, and gender. This book constructs an outline that will serve
as a resource for students, nonspecialists, and general readers in
thinking, talking, and writing about philosophy of race.
