Habits of Whiteness: A Pragmatist Reconstruction, second edition, offers a revised and updated look at the concept of whiteness in the United States. Lauded when it was first published and even more relevant today, Habits of Whiteness offers a distinctive way to talk about race and racism by focusing on racial habits and how to change them.Author Terrance MacMullan examines how the concept of racial whiteness has undermined attempts to create a truly democratic society in the United States. By getting to the core of the racism that lives on in unrecognized habits, MacMullan argues that it is possible for white people to recognize the distance between their color-blind ideals and their actual behavior. Revitalizing the work of W. E. B. Du Bois and John Dewey, MacMullan demonstrates how it is possible to reconstruct racial habits and close fissures between people. This second edition of Habits of Whiteness also contains a new introduction, which looks closely at race relations during the Obama and Trump presidencies, including such recent challenges as police brutality in 2020, white supremacy, and the Capitol insurrection. Its persuasive analysis of the impulses of whiteness ultimately reorganizes them into something more compatible with our country's increasingly multicultural heritage.

The Bloomsbury Handbook of American Philosophies represents the full breadth of philosophy across the Americas by exploring texts by African American, Asian American, Native American, Caribbean, and Latin American philosophers. Contextualizing and illuminating the thinkers, debates and problems of an expanded American canon, this handbook is at the forefront of the rapidly growing field of Inter-American philosophy. A team of rising and established scholars draw on approaches engaged with classical texts and neglected figures and in conversation with history, anthropology and literature. They address debates around issues of race, gender, culture and colonialism, tackling philosophical themes shared across the Americas and traditions including pragmatism, feminism and transcendentalism. Featuring critical and historical perspective on the thinkers of a pluralistic American tradition they connect lesser-known indigenous figures with major intellectuals including Jane Addams, Aimé Césaire, Alain Locke, Leonard Harris, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Gregory Fernando Pappas.This pluralistic and inclusive handbook illustrates the richness and breadth of the philosophical traditions that have flourished throughout the Americas. It showcases the vibrancy of American philosophies. For students and scholars alike it presents a valuable and essential research tool to the history of philosophy in the Americas.

From American Empire to América Cósmica through Philosophy: Prospero's Reflection envisions a greater ideal American philosophy that integrates philosophies from across the Americas and is set to work resolving the problems that vex the peoples of the Americas. This work contributes to the rapidly growing dialogue on Inter-American philosophy with research that adds to the list of philosophical affinities across the Americas. However, Terrance MacMullan also delves deeply into the points of philosophical contention and misrecognition between Anglo-American and Ibero-American philosophies by reversing the colonial gaze of the last centuries. Following in the tradition of cultural theorists like Enrique Rodó and Roberto Fernández Retamar, who draw on Shakespeare’s The Tempest as a source of literary metaphors to understand colonialism and imperialism in the Americas, MacMullan argues that the United States will never achieve democratic community unless it first contends with the harsh critiques of its culture and philosophies reflected within the works of Latin American philosophers who prophesied and survived the imperialism of the North American Prospero but whose works are still largely unknown and unseen within U.S. universities.
