Race Traitor Back Issues

Race Traitor calls itself a journal of the New Abolitionism. Its motto is โ€œTreason to whiteness is loyalty to humanity.โ€ The journal takes its stand on two points: first, that the โ€œwhite 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 โ€œraceโ€ from another, and social scientists have begun to examine how race was constructed and how it is reproduced. The โ€œsocial 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.
