The Racial Contract translated by Aly Ndiaye alias Webster - Charles W. Mills

Translated from English by Aly Ndiaye aka Webster

Originally published in 1997 in the United States, The Racial Contract by philosopher Charles W. Mills exposes the flaws in the social contract, which is first and foremost a racial contract. This contract has shaped the system of European domination that makes white people exist as full persons and non-white people as sub-persons. Charles W. Mills places racial justice at the center of his analyses. Refuting the idea of ​​the social contract, Mills instead evokes the racial contract where the racial order creates the foundations of our societies, the continuation of privileges and domination. This edition has benefited from a new preface by the author, written on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the book's publication.
