Here is the rephrased text:

Distinguished philosopher of race Robert Bernasconi's fifteen essays in this collection showcase the urgent need for the critical philosophy of race to adopt a historical perspective. Genealogies of the concepts of race and racism shed light on why certain dominant strategies for combating racism often fail. For instance, the Boasian/UNESCO approach, which emphasizes biology's rejection of race, neglects the realm of cultural racism. Bernasconi advocates for a comprehensive approach that incorporates the personal experiences of individuals facing racism into the study of institutional, structural, and systemic racism. By drawing upon the works of Frantz Fanon, the late Sartre, and Michel Foucault, Bernasconi challenges the dominant philosophical canon. This volume serves as a vital resource for scholars and students engaged in this increasingly relevant field.
