ANTI-RACISM AND MULTICULTURALISM: STUDIES IN INTERNATIONAL COMMUNICATION
Book ID/图书代码： 13149010B39499
English Summary/英文概要： All scholarly books are engagements with the existing literature, often the published scholarly work of one established discipline. This book originated with modest objectives, to produce a work that would be in conversation with the literature of international relations even though not of relevance only to that field. The professed goal of international relations is international peace. The ethical lens of pondering the best means to achieve world peace is used to filter media content in the field of multiculturalism and anti-racism.
Although there has been little work on the impact of racial difference on the contours of contemporary international order, there has been a sizeable body of research intended to abolish the credibility of pseudo-scientific racism. Such racism has provided the ideological foundation and justification for imperialism, colonialism, the holocaust, and apartheid. Race has been debunked as a myth. Because of this, racism the ideology bred of human classification according to racial difference has been found to be intellectually and morally barren. But the need to communicate egalitarian and scientific sentiments remains.
The contributors to this volume consider five questions: How does the literature on anti racism improve our understanding of conflict resolution? How does the analysis of the media’s role in racist and anti-racist discourses improve the process of theorizing on hate and war propaganda? How can research on anti-racist discourse improve UN peacekeeping? What implications does this subject have for theory-building and cultural diversity? How and why should the literature on anti-racism expand research in international relations? This is a unique, worthwhile framework for cross-disciplinary research in race and intellectual consensus and conflict.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 所有学术性书籍都和现存文化脱不了干系，本书旨在探讨国际关系中的文化。国际关系的目标是国际和平，要和平就是要过滤多元文化论和反种族主义领域的媒体内容。尽管在当代国际秩序下种族差异仍然存在，还是可以想办法彻底废除这种伪科学的种族歧视。作者在此提出了诸如反种族主义文化如何改善我们对于矛盾的理解等五个问题，是研究种族和智力共识、矛盾的独特框架。(兼职翻译-XJJ)
