The Racial Contract

Why read it

• You will notice what a standard course in political theory never mentions, and ask why
• You will see how the idea of a social contract can be turned around to explain real history
• You will learn to separate how a society says it behaves from how it actually behaves

Who it is for

• A philosophy student wanting a challenge to the usual canon
• A reader trying to name a pattern in how societies treat race
• A teacher building a syllabus that includes more perspectives
