audiobook The Religious Critic in American Culture (Emotions) by William Dean in History

Description

Timely; controversial; and incisive; Toward a Political Philosophy of Race looks uncompromisingly at how a liberal society enables racism and other forms of discrimination. Drawing on the examples of the internment of U.S. citizens and residents of Japanese descent; of Muslim men and women in the contemporary United States; and of Asian Indians at the turn of the twentieth century; Falguni A. Sheth argues that racial discrimination and divisions are not accidents in the history of liberal societies. Race; she contends; is a process embedded in a range of legal technologies that produce racialized populations who are divided against other groups. Moving past discussions of racial and social justice as abstract concepts; she reveals the playing out of race; racialization of groups; and legal frameworks within concrete historical frameworks.
