I start by speaking of the specific style in which life and philosophy are related in his work. I argue that he devises a political phenomenology which considers the lived experiences of racialization and inquires into their historical conditions, which have become "practico-inert" in facticity. Bernasconi's thesis that the history of race is not determined by racial essentialism and his account of race as a border concept call for an expansion of the notion of race that will better serve the cause of the global fight against racism.PhilosophyJournal Article1757-0646404672900003N/A2178
