In \u003cem\u003eA Theory of Race\u003c\/em\u003e, Joshua Glasgow argues that this set of choices unnecessarily presents us with too few options.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsing both traditional philosophical tools and recent psychological research to investigate folk understandings of race, Glasgow argues that, as ordinarily conceived, race is an illusion. However, our pressing need to speak to and make sense of social life requires that we employ something like racial discourse. These competing pressures, Glasgow maintains, ultimately require us to stop conceptualizing race as something biological, and instead understand it as an entirely social phenomenon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joshua Glasgow\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415990734\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415990738\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/04\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.30w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChronicle of Higher Education\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/20\/2009 pg. 18\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2009","brand":"Joshua Glasgow","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44790041673983,"sku":"9780415990738","price":52.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2f2e346c-fb23-4799-b5f4-7664bf519aaa.jpg?v=1707287787","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-theory-of-race-joshua-glasgow-9780415990738","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
