Routledge - Everyday Practice of Race in America Book

Explore a deep reinterpretation of how race functions in US society with this original contribution to political theory and cultural studies. In Everyday Practice of Race in America: Ambiguous Privilege, McKnight examines the complex way racial categories are accommodated in modern life. This work is particularly relevant for those studying how social practices persist even as anti-racist formal instruments become part of daily routines. The text navigates a broad theoretical landscape to address the dilemmas of continuing racial social practices. By integrating the perspectives of major thinkers such as Wittgenstein, Stanley Cavell, Michel Foucault, and Cornel West, the book provides a rigorous framework for understanding contemporary racial dynamics. This volume is an essential resource for students and scholars in anthropology, sociology, and political theory seeking to understand the modern complexities of postcolonial politics.
