"Race offers a diverse and profound examination of the idea of race in the continental tradition, from Kant to contemporary theorists. Perspectives include phenomenology, feminism, multiculturalism, existentialism, and Africana Studies. A valuable research tool for scholarship in race and continental philosophy."

Albert Mosley, Smith College"This excellent and wide-ranging anthology is certain to enrich and enliven contemporary philosophical discussion of the concept of race."
