| Description: |
The contemporary debate over racial classification has been dominated by fringe voices in American society. The right demands colour-blindness, and the left, colour-consciousness. These essays, however, recognize that racial classification is an issue broader than that seen by the right or left. |
| Synopsis: |
The contemporary debate over racial classification has been dominated by fringe voices in American society. The right demands that history should be abrogated and public policy made colour-blind, whilst the left insists that all customs, languages, institutions and practices are racially tinged and that only aggressive, colour-conscious programmes can reverse the course of American history. These essays, however, recognize that racial classification is an issue that cuts too deep and poses too many questions to be resolved by slogans of either the right or the left. |
