Not perfect though because:
- Uses a lot of unnecessary words. This sounds silly, but it makes it tough if you don't realise that a lot of the words used aren't important. Like I guess it's shitty to be all "ugh ACADEMIC LANGUAGE" because part of the book is addressing academic ideas on their own terms but it's enough to be off-putting.
- Doesn't really move outside the ideas of liberalism. Again this seems unfair considering the point of the book but it's a little weird that at the end he seems to be saying "social contract theory is fine except for the race stuff which perverted it", which sort of runs counter to his earlier arguments. I don't expect a serious critique of capitalism, but he really doesn't touch on the economic at all, which is weird and kind of obscures the reality of race exploitation.
Still a great book and worth reading for an important critique of race and its invisibility.… (plus d'informations)
