"I argue for a focal analysis that defines race and gender, ... I embrace the feminist slogan that gender is the social meaning of sex and extend this by arguing that race is the social meaning of "color." To avoid confusion, I use the terms 'woman' and 'man' to refer to genders and 'male' and 'female' to sexes, 'Black' and 'White' (upper case) to refer to races and 'black' and 'white' (lower case) to refer to “colors."--Resisting Reality: Social Construction and Social Critique (2012) by Sally Haslanger "At the most general level, the task is to develop accounts of gender and race that will be effective tools in the fight against injustice."--Resisting Reality: Social Construction and Social Critique (2012) by Sally Haslanger |
