Reseña del libro "Points of View: Writings on Race from Diverse Perspectives (en Inglés)"
"Rather than advancing a single, particular perspective Points of View: Writings on Race from Diverse Perspectives exposes readers to diverse positions, ideas, and attitudes that make discourse on racial representation one of the richest sources of intellectual debate and discussion in the social sciences and liberal arts. The sections of the anthology explore racial discrimination, ethnocentrism, nationalism and race, race and historiography, culture, European perspectives on race, icons and symbols, and resisting and erasing racism. The selected papers generate lively classroom conversation on the dynamics of social and racial situations, and can be assigned to individuals or small groups of students for review and analysis. Points of View can be used in courses in African American studies and African American social and political thought. Molefi Kete Asante holds a Ph.D. from the University of California, Los Angeles. Dr. Asante is a professor of African American studies at Temple University in Philadelphia, where he created the nation's first doctoral program in the discipline. A prolific author, Dr. Asante has written or edited 95 books, and in 2007 his book An Afrocentric Manifesto won the prestigious Cheikh Anta Diop Award. His articles have been published in numerous national and international journals, and he currently serves as co-editor of the Journal of Black Studies, the Encyclopedia of African Religion, and the Encyclopedia of Black Studies."
