Language: English.\u003c\/p\u003e\n White on White\/Black on Black is a unique contribution to the philosophy of race. The book explores how fourteen philosophers, seven white and seven black, philosophically understand the dynamics of the process of racialization. Combined, the contributions demonstrate different and similar conceptual trajectories of raced identities that emerge from within and across the racial divide. Each of the fourteen philosophers, who share a textual space of exploration, name blackness\/whiteness, revealing significant political, cultural, and existential aspects of what it means to be black\/white. Through the power of naming and theorizing whiteness and blackness, White on White\/Black on Black dares to bring clarity and complexity to our understanding of race identity.  \n\n                                         Editorial Reviews                   Review   \u003cp\u003e“Yancy's anthology, with its collection of philosophers of race, makes flesh of the oft-challenged pairing of race and philosophy-sinuous tissues of identity, autobiography, history, and ideology.” ―T. Sharpley-Whiting, professor of African American studies and French, and director of African American studies at Vanderbilt University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“George Yancy's brilliant and thought-provoking White on White\/Black on Black is a major contribution to the literature of the study of the changing dynamics of race in contemporary American life.” ―Manning Marable, Ph.D., professor of history and political science, and founding director of the Institute for Research in African-American Studies at C\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“George Yancy has assembled a most important collection of essays that challenge the white supremacist cultural and intellectual domination of philosophy, a discipline that has traditionally denied black humanity. Philosophers and non-philosophers alike will benefit from these thought-provoking essays. White on White\/Black on Black demands and demonstrates the transformation of philosophy.” ―Floyd W. Hayes, III, Johns Hopkins University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Critical race theory needs to be done. In this text, a philosophically grounded critical race theory is done very well. This volume, in which Cornel West offers a foreword, partly serves as a key philosophical intervention onto the scene of critical whiteness studies. Along with the groundbreaking works by David Roediger and David Theo Goldberg, the first half of this text presents white scholars writing on their experiences of, and critical thoughts on, whiteness. Chapters of note include those by Robert Bernasconi, Anna Stubblefield, and Bettina Bergo. The second half of the text is, as can now be expected of Yancy's editorial mastery, brilliant. The black philosophers' contributions to this volume, especially those by Clarence Shole Johnson, Robert Birt, and Kal Alston, offer critical engagements in the discipline known as critical race theory, a domain mistakenly reserved for critical legal scholars, historians, and sociologists. Highly recommended. All academic levels\/libraries.” ―Choice Reviews\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“White on White\/Black on Black presents readers with an array of illustrations of the way in which philosophizing about or from one's life can, in fact contribute to the living of that life. The book can serve as an invitation to take up the project of theorizing with, through, about, and beyond one's own life; and to consider theorizing as a tool one might take up in one's quest for social transformation... a useful, intriguingly-designed contribution to the philosophy of race.” ―Journal of Speculative Philosophy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Once again, an engrossing collection by George Yancy! Whites critique whiteness and Blacks reaffirm blackness-all revealing much about themselves, their views of philosophy, and the American quicksand of race.” ―Naomi Zack, Lehman College, CUNY\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“By calling upon the academic community to value Blackness and challenge white supremacist cultural values, this text provides a provocative contribution to the study of race relations in America today.” ―The European Legacy – Toward New Paradigms\u003c\/p\u003e           About the Author   Molefi Kete Asante is Professor of Africology at Temple University, USA.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMonique Roelofs is Professor of Philosophy of Art and Culture at the University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
