The Meaning of Race
Book • 1996
In 'The Meaning of Race', Kenan Malik examines the complex social meanings of race, arguing that they arise from the contradiction between the ideological commitment to equality and the reality of persistent inequality.
The book traces the evolution of racial ideology over the past two centuries, critiques contemporary theories of difference, and defends Enlightenment values against modern distortions.
Malik's work is both a historical analysis and a critical examination of how race continues to shape societal perceptions and interactions.
