Given the assumptions behind this influential metaphor?that being blind to race will lead to racial equality?it's curious that, until now, we have not considered if or how the blind "see" race. Most sighted people assume that the answer is obvious: they don't, and are therefore incapable of racial bias?an example that the sighted community should presumably follow. In Blinded by Sight,Osagie K. Obasogie shares a startling observation made during discussions with people from all walks of life who have been blind since birth: even the blind aren't colorblind?blind people understand race visually, just like everyone else. Ask a blind person what race is, and they will more than likely refer to visual cues such as skin color. Obasogie finds that, because blind people think about race visually, they orient their lives around these understandings in terms of who they are friends with, who they date, and much more. In Blinded by Sight, Obasogie argues that rather than being visually obvious, both blind and sighted people are socialized to see race in particular ways, even to a point where blind people "see" race. So what does this mean for how we live and the laws that govern our society? Obasogie delves into these questions and uncovers how color blindness in law, public policy, and culture will not lead us to any imagined racial utopia. 606 $aRace awareness$zUnited States 606 $aBlind$zUnited States$xAttitudes 606 $aRace$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aRace discrimination$xLaw and legislation$zUnited States 606 $aPost-racialism$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xRace relations 615 0$aRace awareness 615 0$aBlind$xAttitudes. 615 0$aRace$xSocial aspects 615 0$aRace discrimination$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aPost-racialism 676 $a305.800973 700 $aObasogie$b Osagie K$01491287 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787640503321 996 $aBlinded by sight$93713075 997 $aUNINA
