{"product_id":"seeing-race-again-kimberl-williams-crenshaw-9780520300972","title":"Seeing Race Again: Countering Colorblindness Across the Disciplines","description":"Every academic discipline has an origin story complicit with white supremacy. Racial hierarchy and colonialism structured the very foundations of most disciplines' research and teaching paradigms. In the early twentieth century, the academy faced rising opposition and correction, evident in the intervention of scholars including W. E. B. Du Bois, Zora Neale Hurston, Carter G. Woodson, and others. By the mid-twentieth century, education itself became a center in the struggle for social justice. Scholars mounted insurgent efforts to discredit some of the most odious intellectual defenses of white supremacy in academia, but the disciplines and their keepers remained unwilling to interrogate many of the racist foundations of their fields, instead embracing a framework of racial colorblindness as their default position. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This book challenges scholars and students to see race again. Examining the racial histories and colorblindness in fields as diverse as social psychology, the law, musicology, literary studies, sociology, and gender studies, \u003ci\u003eSeeing Race Again \u003c\/i\u003edocuments the profoundly contradictory role of the academy in constructing, naturalizing, and reproducing racial hierarchy. It shows how colorblindness compromises the capacity of disciplines to effectively respond to the wide set of contemporary political, economic, and social crises marking public life today. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520300971\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520300972\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/05\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.20d","brand":"Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43990207693055,"sku":"9780520300972","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e84a7f4d-74f3-42d6-aae2-def06d870ae9.jpg?v=1683303614","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/seeing-race-again-kimberl-williams-crenshaw-9780520300972","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
