About this title: The Racial Contract puts classic Western social contract theory, deadpan, to extraordinary radical use. With a sweeping look at the European expansionism and racism of the last five hundred years, Charles W. Mills demonstrates how this peculiar and unacknowledged "contract" has shaped a system of global European domination: how it brings into existence "whites" and "non-whites", full persons and sub-persons; how it influences white moral theory and moral psychology; and now this system is imposed on non-whites through ideological conditioning and violence. The Racial Contract argues that the ...

"Absolutely amazing and brilliant book. Wow, is all I can say.
I think the next book to read is "Race and Epistemologies of Ignorance" which came out 10 years later and is inspired by the concepts Mills brought up in "Racial Contract"."
"Professor Arthur is becoming a student...again. I read this book as a part of a grad level lit class I'll be taking at WVU called "Slavery In The American Memory." (I'm getting my mind ready to start applying to doctoral programs.) Mills breaks down ideas about the way the world views raise in a quick and engaging read that will challenge what anyone thinks they "know" about race. Not for the faint of heart or mind..."
"I loved this book. I used it in a political philosophy class of mostly white men. Some of the students freaked out and focused on feeling offended. But the ones who worked past that were able to do interesting work on evaluation their own whiteness."
