Informationen zum Autor Carlos Hoyt explores race, racial identity and related issues as a scholar, teacher, psychotherapist, parent, and racialized member of our society, interrogating master narratives and the dominant discourse on race with the goal of illuminating and virtuously disrupting the racial worldview. An adversely racialized nominally black male, Carlos eschews race as a useful aspect of identity, and, based on his study of nominally black individuals who do not subscribe toracial identity, he presents the non-racial worldview as an alternative and antidote to our societies centuries-old inability to move beyond the puzzles and perils inherent in a racialized perspective on human differences. Carlos holds teaching positions at Wheelock College, Simmons College, andBoston University in Boston Massachusetts, and has authored peer-reviewed articles on spirituality in social work practice and the pedagogy of the definition of racism. Klappentext The arc of a bad idea: Understanding and transcending race presents a penetrating, provocative, and promising alternative to the hegemonic racial worldview. Anyone seeking a transformative perspective on race will be challenged, enriched, and empowered by this refreshing treatment of one of our most confounding and consequential dilemmas.
