Dear Jacob and Everyone:

Here is a conference on race that should interest many
students of Foucault's work. In particular, Foucault believed
that racist 'knowledge' was used to control and limit the
interaction of native and European colonist...in general, his
work suggests that the concept of race dissolves with the 19th
century episteme:

The California Roundtable on Philosophy and Race

justice, culture, identity, feminism, biology, phenomenology,
existentialism, psychoanalysis, metaphysics, or epistemology.
