Race, Pluralism, and Afrocentricity.
Appiah, K. Anthony
Journal of Blacks in Higher Education, n19 p116-18 Spr 1998
A biologically rooted conception of race is both dangerous in practice and misleading in theory. African-American unity and African-American identity need foundations that are more secure than that of race. Only a multiculturalism that accepts America's diversity while teaching the ways and worth of others can avoid the perpetual schism toward which the nation is headed. (SLD)
