Description
Book SynopsisSurviving Race, Ethnicity, and Nationality is the first book of philosophy that explores race, ethnicity, and nationality together and attempts to present a systematic and unified theory about them with particular emphasis on the metaphysical and epistemological issues that these phenomena raise.
Trade ReviewClarity of concepts is not just an epistemological necessity, but it is an ethical obligation. If successful philosophy involves getting to "know ones' way around," which implies gaining greater clarity regarding some particular inchoate conceptual terrain, philosopher Gracia's Surviving Race, Ethnicity, and Nationality provides readers with an impressive, systematic, comprehensive, and insightful analysis for conceptually traversing such highly politically charged, historically dynamic, and existentially embodied concepts as race, ethnicity, and nationality. -- George Yancy, professor of philosophy, Emory University
Gracia provides in lucid fashion a discussion of various contemporary accounts of the concepts of race, ethnicity and/or nationality. I highly recommend it! -- J Angelo Corlett, Professor of Philosophy & Ethics, San Diego State University
