Broadening the philosophical conversation about race and racism, "Living Alterities" considers how people s racial embodiment affects their day-to-day lived experiences, the lived experiences of individuals marked by race interacting with and responding to others marked by race, and the tensions that arise between different spheres of a single person s identity. Drawing on phenomenology and the work of thinkers such as Frantz Fanon, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, and Iris Marion Young, the essays address the embodiment experiences of African Americans, Muslims, Asian Americans, Latinas, Jews, and white Americans. The volume s focus on specific situations, temporalities, and encounters provides important context for understanding how race operates in people s lives in ordinary settings like classrooms, dorm rooms, borderlands, elevators, and families."
