Reviews
'... an exceptionally clear and comprehensive account of race and racism. It extends across the long history of racial ideas, and ranges geographically from the US and Europe to Latin America and Africa. A fine teaching and basic reference resource.' David Theo Goldberg, University of California Humanities Research Institute
'Perhaps no subject is as pressing, controversial, and indeed unresolved as that of race. Race: An Introduction brings great clarity to this broad topic, tackling the tough issues in an accessible and deeply informed way. The book's global framework is especially valuable. Insightfully and systematically comparing the uses of the race concept around the world, and simultaneously focusing deeply on key cases such as Europe, the Americas (North and South), and South Africa, this text is an excellent choice for classroom use. Highly recommended.' Howard Winant, Director, University of California Center for New Racial Studies
