"Every academic discipline has an origin story complicit with white supremacy. In the twentieth century, scholars mounted insurgent efforts to discredit some of the most odious intellectual defenses of white supremacy in academia, and to rebuild them a new fields of knowledge. 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. This book challenges scholars and students to see race again. Examining fields as diverse as social psychology, the law, musicology, literary studies, sociology, and gender studies, Seeing Race Again 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."--Page 4 de la couverture.
