Race Traitor Back Issues
Race Traitor calls itself a journal of the New Abolitionism. Its motto is โTreason to whiteness is loyalty to humanity.โ The journal takes its stand on two points: first, that the โwhite raceโ is not a natural but a social category; second, that what was historically constructed can be undone. The first of these points is now widely accepted; scientists have concluded that there are no biological standards for distinguishing one โraceโ from another, and social scientists have begun to examine how race was constructed and how it is reproduced. The โsocial construction of raceโ has become something of a catch-phrase in the academy. However, few have taken the next step: indeed one might say that up to now the philosophers have merely interpreted the white race; the point, however, is to abolish it.
