Racism, Hypocrisy, and Bad Faith
Broadview Press Ltd (Verlag)
978-1-55481-498-5 (ISBN)
The election of President Trump, through his campaign of race-baiting, sexual harassment, and blatant disregard for human decency, lowered the moral bar of American public discourse. Julius Bailey's latest book discusses the current state of hypocrisy and mistrust in the American political system, especially as these affect ethnic minorities and low-income groups. In powerful and inspiring prose, Bailey writes with a voice well-informed by current events, empirical data, and philosophical observation. Bailey looks at the causes and consequences of this new era, and applies his passionate yet astute analysis to issues such as hate speech, gerrymandering, the use of the Confederate flag, and America's relationship with the gun.
Julius Bailey is Associate Professor of Philosophy at Wittenberg University. A frequent guest on radio shows as a social critic and education advisor, he is often sought to speak at colleges, prisons, and community organizations and has been interviewed on CNN, Fox, BET, and ABC Nightline. Professor Bailey’s other books include Racial Realities and Post-Racial Dreams: The Age of Obama and Beyond and Philosophy and Hip-Hop: Ruminations on Postmodern Cultural Form.
