Summary

THINKING ABOUT RACE offers a concise, provocative introduction to the often overlooked, yet ever-salient body of philosophical thought regarding the nature and impact of race on our lives. Not only does the book address the essence of race and ethnicity as philosophical concepts, it also focuses on the social realities and implications of race as they affect the realms of public policy, sexuality, and social class.
