On Race

More about the book

The recent barrage of racially motivated killings, violent antagonisms, and conflagrations has left many Americans reeling in the face of a so-called post-racial reality. In thirty-four interviews--some previously unpublished and others originally conducted for The New York Times' philosophy column The Stone, but presented here unedited and with supporting materials--philosopher George Yancy critically engages some of the most influential thinkers alive today in order to highlight their most crucial insights into understanding the multifaceted dimensions of race in the United States.
