- Title
On Racial Kinship.
- Authors
Howze, Yalonda; Weberman, David
- Abstract
The article defends racial kinship by showing that it is often unified, ethically legitimate and politically prudent. Randall Kennedy, a Harvard Law School professor, believes that racial kinship is irrational, inappropriate and sometimes immoral too. Kennedy argues that race is owned and not accomplished and so is not a sensible basis for the feeling of solidarity. At the same time, other thinkers argue against racial solidarity on the basis that race itself is a fiction or myth. It also states that exceeding race by giving up racial identities and racial solidarity is not always preferable.
