Ontological Branding : Power, Privilege, and White Supremacy in a Colorblind World Paperback / softback
by Bonard Ivan Molina Garcia
Part of the Philosophy of Race series
Paperback / softback
Description
Using Heideggerian tool ontology to investigate antiblack racism in the United States, Ontological Branding: Power, Privilege, and White Supremacy in a Colorblind World provides a novel account of race and racial justice.
Bonard Iván Molina García argues that race is best understood as a tool to brand persons of color, particularly Black persons, as subordinate in order to privilege whiteness as the proper state of persons in a world created by and for persons and in which all (and only) persons are equal.
Persons of color, particularly Black persons, are thus excluded from full participation in the rights and privileges of personhood and instead relegated to ways of being in service to the white world.
This white supremacist system was created through law, and despite significant changes, U.S. law’s current approach to racial justice through colorblindness only serves to safeguard white supremacy.
Racial justice instead requires a critical race consciousness that accounts for the ontology of race.
Racial justice requires ontological justice.
