The End of Race Politics

The End of Race Politics (2024) challenges the doctrine of contemporary antiracism, arguing that fixating on race undermines the fundamental ideals of the Civil Rights movement. Drawing on personal experience and incisive analysis, it contends that race-based policies and a culture of resentment will only lead to further division, making the case for a return to the vision of a just society where race no longer defines us.

• Readers interested in thought-provoking perspectives on race, politics, and culture
• Civil Rights activists who desire a return to a colorblind approach to race
• Intellectuals, philosophers, and social commentators interested in how to best address racial issues in America
