The ISRST Review: Reflections on Race and Social Thought (II)
Issue II, January 2008

The link between race and social inequalities around the world cannot be denied, but more often than not, it seems to be pushed “under the rug” by some academics, politicians, and even religious leaders. One cannot have rigorous and informed debates about Hurricane Katrina, the state of the American public education system, or the genocide in Darfur, Sudan without discussing issues of race and racism. Providing a platform for individuals to share their research and express their concerns through written and artistic reflections can only contribute to social, economic and political progress. By creating a widely read publication for students and faculty creatively to express themselves through art, poetry, essays and reviews, we are creating a forum for healthy discussion.
