This revised second edition includes updated arguments, refined language, and expanded reflections on identity, category, and personhood.
You Are Not Your Race examines how modern societies came to organize human beings into categories and what is lost when those categories begin to stand in for the person.Drawing on history, sociology, and philosophy, Fe Bencosme traces the development of racial classification from early efforts to describe human variation to its expansion into administrative, political, and cultural life. What began as a way of organizing populations gradually became a framework through which individuals are interpreted, judged, and expected to understand themselves.
The book argues that categories, once institutionalized, do more than describe patterns. Categories shape perception, influence how encounters are interpreted, how disagreements are framed, and how identity is understood in public life. As categories grow more central, the individual risks becoming secondary to the group.
This revised second edition refines the original argument and extends its implications. It introduces a framework for recovering proportion: acknowledging historical realities without allowing inherited classifications to define the limits of the person.
You Are Not Your Race is not a call to ignore history, nor an argument against recognizing difference. It is an invitation to reconsider scale-to place categories in their proper context and to recover a view of the human person that is not exhausted by them.
For readers of social theory, philosophy, and public life, this work offers a clear and measured reconsideration of identity in an age of categories.外文書商品之書封，為出版社提供之樣本。實際出貨商品，以出版社所提供之現有版本為主。部份書籍，因出版社供應狀況特殊，匯率將依實際狀況做調整。
