""The Raceless Antiracist shows the way out of the maze. I am tempted to call it a masterwork. However, it seems that Dr. Mason's masterwork is ever in process and developing on a practical, empirical, and interpersonal level. The book should be required reading for all educators, activists, politicians, and anyone interested in justice and global harmony."" -- Arnett Duncan. EdD, Executive Director, Kweli Educational Enterprises, Inc. ""One of the most important books of the twenty-first century. A challenge to racists and antiracists, the colorblind and color-conscious, 'woke' and 'anti-woke' alike, The Raceless Antiracist is the solution to social division we've been waiting for. Dr. Sheena Michele Mason expertly guides us toward finally shedding the pernicious fiction of race, recognizing our common humanity, and realizing our true potential--together."" -- Angel Eduardo, Senior Writer, Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, and Board Chair, Foundation Against Intolerance & Racism ""The concept of race is itself a tool of oppression, and celebrating it, however well-intentioned, is promoting the white supremacist project. The Raceless Antiracist is a wonderfully clear and accessible guide and call to arms, explaining why it is that if we want to get rid of racism, we've got to get rid of race, and charting the way forward to a truly post-racist world."" -- David Livingstone Smith, author of Making Monsters: The Uncanny Power of Dehumanization ""Dr. Sheena Michele Mason has penned a moving and courageous elegy to an age-worn belief and custom-the noxious notion and practice of race as a scientific reality. Mason argues that if we are ever to progress as a species, we must rid ourselves of the hidebound notion of race and its concomitant pseudoscientific methodologies that consign all to a more limited humanity. Mason ushers in shimmering new possibilities of collaboration, communion, and collective care."" -- Hoda Mahmoudi, Research Professor and Chair, The Bahá'í Chair for World Peace, University of Maryland, College Park ""Sheena Michele Mason is a timely and refreshing voice in the antiracist soundscape. The Raceless Antiracist, at once descriptive and didactic, educates and even invites its readers to a more nuanced, honest look at the inner workings of what we'd otherwise call 'race.' The sooner the togetherness wayfinder makes its way into graduate seminars, journal articles, academic books, popular press, and public discourse . . . the better."" -- Russell Galloway, Graduate Teaching Assistant, PhD Student, University of Alabama
