Neo-Racism: Fighting Prejudice as the New Dogma

This article provides a thorough analysis of Coleman Hughes's book, The End of Race Politics, in which the author argues for the emergence of neo-racism. Hughes argues that contemporary identity politics, despite its noble aims, reproduces mechanisms of segregation through the obsessive classification of individuals by race. The text explores the concept of procedural humanism and the tradition of colorblindness as the only path to authentic justice. The author exposes errors in the interpretation of social disparities and warns against paralyzing public debate by granting arbitrary epistemic authority based on ethnicity.
