Summary
In this collection of essays, the authors examine how racial considerations have affected the way social science is conducted, how issues are framed, and how data are analyzed. With an assemblage of leading scholars, White Logic, White Methods explores the possibilities and necessary dethroning of current social research practices, and demands a complete overhaul of current methods toward a multicultural and pluralist approach to what we know, think, and question.
