Race and Racism in Continental Philosophy Summary

Race and Racism in Continental Philosophy by Robert Bernasconi

The 15 original essays in Race and Racism in Continental Philosophy explore the resources that continental philosophy brings to debates about contemporary race theory and investigate the racism of some of Europe's most important thinkers. Attention is devoted to the influence of the work of W. E. B. Du Bois, Jean-Paul Sartre, Richard Wright, and Frantz Fanon. Questions about race in European philosophy-especially in the work of Nietzsche, Heidegger, Levi-Strauss, and Arendt-are also considered. This volume provides an indispensable critical introduction to new perspectives on thinking about race and racism.

Race and Racism in Continental Philosophy Reviews

Recent philosophy of race has belabored two points: that race thinking lacks a real biological reference and that influential thinkers manifest racism. Most of the essays in this collection are refreshingly more interesting. . . [A] stimulating introduction. . . . Recommended.
