This book focuses on the underlying assumptions that inform this view of race and racism, arguing that it is ultimately bound up in a politics of purity-an understanding of human agency, and reality itself, as requiring all-or-nothing categories with clear and unambiguous boundaries. Monahan calls for the emergence of a creolizing subjectivity that would place such ambiguity at the center of our understanding of race. 410 0$aJust ideas. 606 $aRace$xPhilosophy 606 $aRace relations$xPhilosophy 606 $aRacism 615 0$aRace$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aRace relations$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aRacism. 676 $a305.8001 700 $aMonahan$b Michael J$01569222 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788459803321 996 $aThe creolizing subject$93841956 997 $aUNINA
