| Publisher Description: Race isn't a social or political construct. The end of race is.The West's rejection of race since 1945 is a rejection of biological relationships between people: connectedness. It leaves us solitary individuals, in the most divided race on earth.People being naturally tribal, white people developed post-racial identities we think unite us with other races, but they only divide us from our own. We've become the first culture in history to dismiss our elderly. We reject our young. We're divided by work, wealth, and values, age and gender, citizenship and geography.We need something to distinguish whatever we are from whatever we're not. Be they families, clans, tribes, or races, biological relationships are natural, substantive, and desirable. When we love, we discriminate. |
