Abstract
Anti-Racist Solidarity Work: Categories, Guilt, and Shame
Highlights
Alexis Shotwell’s Knowing Otherwise: Race, Gender, and Implicit Understanding (2011) is an important, ambitious book that I admire greatly and whose aims I support
I wholeheartedly agree that the various forms of nonpropositional knowing that Shotwell articulates are extremely important
There have been a few philosophers who have written on these forms of knowledge/understanding, but we would all be a lot better off in our epistemology, political philosophy, and political action if many more of us try to encompass this kind of work
Summary
Alexis Shotwell’s Knowing Otherwise: Race, Gender, and Implicit Understanding (2011) is an important, ambitious book that I admire greatly and whose aims I support. Knowledge by acquaintance of people different from ourselves might well interest Shotwell as she considers the nonpropositional knowledge base we can acquire to facilitate anti-racist work.
