Bibliography:
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Summary:
"Is
white
privilege real? Does American
history
begin in 1619 or 1776? Why has left-wing antisemitism grown? How racist is the working class? Who benefits most, when anti-racists speak in racial terms? These very different questions have all emerged from today's heated debates around
race
,
identity
and culture. The "culture wars" have generated ferocious argument, but little clarity. Not
So
Black
and
White
offers that clarity by taking the long view, explaining the real origins of '
race
' in Western thought, and tracing its path from those beginnings to today's fractious world. In doing
so
, the book upends many accepted views about
race
,
identity
, whiteness and privilege. Leading thinker Kenan Malik interweaves three narratives: the
history
of the idea of
race
, from the Enlightenment to the present; the historical and current relationship between
race
and class; and his account of how we created a world riven by
identity
politics
. Through these histories, he challenges longstanding assumptions, revealing forgotten stories of a racialized working class, and questioning fashionable concepts like cultural appropriation. Not
So
Black
and
White
is both a lucid
history
that rewrites the story of
race
and class, and an elegant polemic making an anti-racist case against the
politics
of
identity
."--Publisher.
