Expanded Course Description
In this course we will analyze two different approaches to the main concepts of our class (Race and Critique) by considering both a critique of race and race as critique. We will be working with the premise that genuine “thought” always implies theory and praxis: it is not only important to do conceptual work on both terms but also attempting a transformation of the world that allows for racism to exist. Class material includes works on philosophy of race, literary texts, works of art, political and social interventions, and analyses of social movements and organizations.
