Bad Faith and Antiblack racism

null
Book •
Lewis Gordon's "Bad Faith and Antiblack Racism" delves into the philosophical underpinnings of racial oppression.

Gordon uses the existentialist concept of bad faith to analyze how individuals and societies deny the reality of racial injustice.

He argues that anti-Black racism is not merely a matter of individual prejudice but a systemic phenomenon that shapes social structures and individual consciousness.

The book explores the ways in which bad faith manifests in various aspects of life, from interpersonal relationships to political institutions.

Gordon's work offers a powerful critique of the ways in which individuals and societies perpetuate racial inequality through self-deception and denial.

He calls for a more honest and self-aware approach to confronting the realities of racial injustice.
