Frontmatter -- Contents -- Prologue -- Introduction -- 1. The Racialist Concept of Race -- 2. The Minimalist Concept of Race -- 3. Do Minimalist Races Exist? -- 4. Is Minimalist Race Biologically Real? -- 5. The Populationist Concept of Race -- 6. Populationist Race: Existence and Reality -- 7. The Concept of Socialrace -- 8. Health, Race, Medicine -- Conclusion -- Appendix -- Notes -- Acknowledgments -- Index
Because science has shown that racial essentialism is false, and because the idea of race has proved virulent, many people believe we should eliminate the word and concept entirely. Michael Hardimon criticizes this thinking, arguing that we must recognize the real ways in which race exists in order to revise our understanding of its significance.
