Mills's writings on the racial contract, creating the \u003cem\u003edispositif of raciality\u003c\/em\u003e. Carneiro argues that this concept operates through, on the one hand, \"epistemicide,\" the process whereby Black people are invalidated as knowing subjects, and, on the other, a complicity among white people in relation to the social subordination and elimination of Black people.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs with all dispositifs, however, the \u003cem\u003edispositif of raciality\u003c\/em\u003e possesses its own resistance, and Carneiro also addresses Black resistance, understood through the voices and testimonies of insurgents against subordination and epistemicide. Their words reveal that it is from the strength of self-esteem, the recognition of their own autonomy, and the triumph of memory and collective action that the sap of resistance is extracted. It is only through collective struggle, where the care of self and of others becomes emancipatory, that the \u003cem\u003edispositif of raciality\u003c\/em\u003e can be confronted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHailed as one of the most important works of political philosophy written in Brazil, this book sheds new light on the mechanisms through which racial regimes reproduce themselves and how these patterns might be broken. It will be of great value to students and scholars of Brazil, Latin America, and Black studies, and it will appeal to anyone interested in questions of race, racism, and the legacies of colonialism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48038250184940,"sku":"9781509564590","price":44.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781509564590-dispositif-of-raciality.jpg?v=1785391409"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/sueli-carneiro.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
