Thinking About Race

by Naomi Zack

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.

Reviews

[Daniel · Rating 4 out of 5]

A good overview of the different aspects of race, ethnicity, gender, and finances that I hadn't thought about before. This was an educational read so don't expect this to be a quick non-fiction book you can knock out in a couple of days.
