The essay "Four Ways of Thinking about Race" discusses different ways to understand race. It talks about the traditional idea of race as fixed and hierarchical, a newer view of race as a social construct, a simpler view of race based on appearance and ancestry, and a view of race as populations that have evolved separately. These concepts help us better understand the complex idea of race.
