Abstract "George Yancy's third edition of Black Bodies, White Gazes applies a clear and dynamic phenomenological framework of race to the history and most recent headlines in social justice and race relations. Including coverage of police murders and brutality against Black Americans and the rise of white nationalism, this is a timeless introduction to the philosophy of race. The third edition features new chapter introductions and discussion questions from philosopher Taine Duncan; a new chapter giving critical phenomenological attention to contemporary anti-Black violence against individuals such as George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Sonya Massey, and Kayla Moore; and a new coda featuring the author's interview with photographer Daniel C. Blight"-- Provided by publisher.
