Book excerpt: White Man/Yellow Man, by one of Japan?s most celebrated writers, gathers into one volume two novellas set during World War II, one in France, one in Japan. White Man (Shiroi hito), which was awarded Japan?s most prestigious literary prize, the Akutagawa, is the work that first brought Endo wide recognition. The main character in White Man is a French collaborator who assists the Nazi occupiers of Lyon with their interrogation and torture of a Catholic seminarian ? a man whom he had known and whose cousin he had ruined before the war. The narrative unfolds in the form of the collaborator?s diary, which unflinchingly confronts the enduring cruelty and sadism of human beings, and ponders as well the Christian desire for redemption.Yellow Man (Kiiroi hito) tells the story of a Japanese man who, though brought up a Christian, maintains a dispiriting wartime liaison with his best friend?s fiancee. Exhausted by the war and slowly dying from tuberculosis, he discovers that his commitment to an alien ?white? God has never been more than superficial. Intertwined with his story is that of a disgraced French missionary whose relationship to God is anything but superficial. Here Endo contrasts the experience of a ?yellow? man, who discovers that he can be truly indifferent to the idea of God, to that of a ?white? man, who discovers that he has no choice ? he must either be faithful or condemned.Together, these novellas do more than paint a portrait of life on two continents in the waning days of the war. They also ask a question: What can be the meaning of Christianity ? for East and West alike ? given what that war revealed about humanity?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Demonstrates the extent to which Josiah Royce’s ideas about race were motivated explicitly in terms of imperial conquest. Another white Man’s Burden performs a case study of Josiah Royce’s philosophy of racial difference. In an effort to lay bare the ethnological racial heritage of American philosophy, Tommy J. Curry challenges the common notion that the cultural racism of the twentieth century was more progressive and less racist than the biological determinism of the 1800s. Like many white thinkers of his time, Royce believed in the superiority of the white races. Unlike today however, whiteness did not represent only one racial designation but many. Contrary to the view of the British-born Germanophile philosopher Houston S. Chamberlain, for example, who insisted upon the superiority of the Teutonic races, Royce believed it was the Anglo-Saxon lineage that possessed the key to Western civilization. It was the birthright of white America, he believed, to join the imperial ventures of Britain—to take up the white man’s burden. To this end he advocated the domestic colonization of Blacks in the American South, suggested that America’s xenophobia was natural and necessary to protecting the culture of white America, and demanded the assimilation and elimination of cultural difference for the stability of America’s communities. Another white Man’s Burden reminds philosophers that racism has been part of the building blocks of American thought for centuries, and that this must be recognized and addressed in order for its proclamations of democracy, community, and social problems to have real meaning. “Curry has paid attention to the odd and icky bits of Royce, tracking down the offhand cultural references, the unfamiliar names, and historical contexts. A solid analysis of early twentieth-century conceptions of race and colonialism reveals an unseemly picture before our contemporary eyes. Curry is right; we shouldn’t ignore or soft-pedal this.” — Lee A. McBride III, the College of Wooster

Book excerpt: These two raucously acclaimed new plays by Dael Orlandersmith, whom The New York Times has called "an otherworldly messenger, perhaps the sorcerer's apprentice, or a heaven-sent angel with the devil in her," confirm her reputation as one of the truly unique voices in contemporary American drama. In Yellowman, a finalist for the 2002 Pulitzer Prize in Drama, Alma and Eugene have known each other since they were young children. As their friendship blossoms into love, Alma struggles to free herself from her mother's poverty and alcoholism, while Eugene must contend with the legacy of being "yellow"—lighter-skinned than his brutal and unforgiving father. In My Red Hand, My Black Hand, a young woman explores her heritage as the child of a blues-loving Native American man and a black sharecropper's daughter from Virginia. Alternately joyous and harrowing, both plays are powerful examinations of the racial tensions that fracture communities and individual lives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is written to contribute to the existing discussions about race, racism and racial inequality, discussions that have polarized many societies. It debunks some arguments in “Why Nations Fail” and explains causes of African poverty and the future demise of white supremacy. Many other people have presented arguments that race-based prejudiced persons often use skin colour as a signifier of identity and superiority of race. This illusion has become so deeply entrenched that races such as the Caucasian race, the ‘White Man’, have demonized the dark skin, to the extent that they feel there has never been and will never be a match between the varying skin hues, in the sense that no matter how poor a light-skinned person is or how inefficient they are, the light-skinned person is still better than a successful dark-skinned person or coloured boss. Added to that, skin colour has become a significant trait in the western world to determine who gets employed, who gets convicted, and who gets elected.
