Oxford and New York: Oxford University Press.9780195376692http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:11910879Reflecting on the idea of “race” and the normative significance of race relations is an essential part of the enterprise of political philosophy. The principal goal is to think systematically about whether, and if so how, race should figure in our evaluation of institutional arrangements and power relations, in our treatment of each other within civil society, and in our self-conceptions and group affiliations. This article discusses the idea of race, racism, racial discrimination and social justice, responding to racial injustice, and racial identity and community.en-USMonograph or Book2014-03-13Tommie Shelby2014-03-1710.1093/oxfordhb/9780195376692.013.0018
