Advance Praise for The Arc of a Bad Idea:Understanding and Transcending Race
"In The Arc of a BadIdea, Carlos Hoyt attacks deeply ingrained notions of race, racialidentification, and racial politics. Attentive to the many ways in which 'race'matters, often to the detriment of racial minorities, particularly blacks, Hoytattacks conventional understandings of race consciousness in a radical,informed, thoughtful way."

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. For the vast majority of human existence we did without the idea of race. Since its inception a mere few hundred years ago, and despite the voluminous documentation of the problems associated with living within the racial worldview, we have come to act as if race is something we cannot live without. The Arc of a Bad Idea: Understanding and Transcending Race presents a penetrating, provocative, and promising analysis of and alternative to the hegemonicracial worldview. How race came about, how it evolved into a natural-seeming aspect of human identity, and how racialization, as a habit of the mind, can be broken is presented through the unique and correctiveframing of race as a time-bound (versus eternal) concept, the lifespan of which is traceable and the demise of which is predictable. The narratives of individuals who do not subscribe to racial identity despite be ascribed to the black/African American racial category are presented as clear and compelling illustrations of how a non-racial identity and worldview is possible and arguably preferable to the status quo. Our view of and approach to race (in theory, pedagogy, and policy) is sofirmly ensconced in a sense of it as inescapable and indispensible that we are in effect shackled to the lethal absurdity we seek to escape. Theorist, teachers, policy-makers and anyone who seeks atransformative perspective on race and racial identity will be challenged, enriched, and empowered by this refreshing treatment of one of our most confounding and consequential dilemmas. The Arc of a Bad Idea: Understanding and Transcending Race presents a penetrating, provocative, and promising alternative to the hegemonic racial worldview. Anyone seeking a transformative perspective on race will be challenged, enriched, and empowered by this refreshing treatment of one of our most confounding and consequential dilemmas.
