《白色的习惯:实用主义重建》第二版对美国的白色概念进行了修订和更新。《白人习惯》在第一次出版时广受赞誉,如今更具相关性,它通过关注种族习惯以及如何改变这些习惯,提供了一种谈论种族和种族主义的独特方式。
作家特伦斯·麦克马伦(Terrance MacMullan)研究了种族白人的概念如何破坏了在美国创建真正民主社会的努力。麦克马伦指出,通过深入了解生活在未被承认的习惯中的种族主义的核心,白人有可能认识到他们的色盲理想和他们的实际行为之间的距离。
麦克马伦重振了杜博伊斯和杜威的工作,展示了重建种族习惯和弥合人与人之间分歧的可能性。《白人习惯》的第二版还包含了一个新的导言,它密切关注奥巴马和特朗普总统任期内的种族关系,包括最近的挑战,如2020年的警察暴行、白人至上和国会山暴动。它对白人的冲动进行了有说服力的分析,最终将其重新组织成更符合我国日益多元文化遗产的东西。
Habits of Whiteness: A Pragmatist Reconstruction, 2nd Edition
Series: American Philosophy
Habits of Whiteness: A Pragmatist Reconstruction, second edition, offers a revised and updated look at the concept of whiteness in the United States. Lauded when it was first published and even more relevant today, Habits of Whiteness offers a distinctive way to talk about race and racism by focusing on racial habits and how to change them.
Author Terrance MacMullan examines how the concept of racial whiteness has undermined attempts to create a truly democratic society in the United States. By getting to the core of the racism that lives on in unrecognized habits, MacMullan argues that it is possible for white people to recognize the distance between their color-blind ideals and their actual behavior.
Revitalizing the work of W. E. B. Du Bois and John Dewey, MacMullan demonstrates how it is possible to reconstruct racial habits and close fissures between people. This second edition of Habits of Whiteness also contains a new introduction, which looks closely at race relations during the Obama and Trump presidencies, including such recent challenges as police brutality in 2020, white supremacy, and the Capitol insurrection. Its persuasive analysis of the impulses of whiteness ultimately reorganizes them into something more compatible with our country’s increasingly multicultural heritage.
