Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Race Defaced is a thoroughly engaging and stimulating attempt to rethink and resituate conservative and radical orthodoxies surrounding the history and development of racism and anti-racism. Using an effective comparative methodology encompassing the U.K. and the U.S. [...], this book highlights the commonalities shared by conservatives and radicals that constrain the potential for true equality being achieved . . . The authors' main contribution lies in providing a conceptual toolkit, framed within 'hope' and 'possibility,' with which to begin a movement toward an emancipatory politics." -- Waqas Tufail * Sociology of Race and Ethnicity * "Race Defaced shakes up the status quo in the field of race-and social theory more broadly-delivering an exciting, forceful challenge to prominent thought. A major contribution." -- Alana Lentin * University of Western Sydney * "Race Defaced is an exceptional contribution to the debate about race because it does so much more than most writing on the subject. In a field where moral stances usually get in the way of thinking things through more deeply, Kyriakides and Torres have pulled together a pointedly philosophical reflection on the meaning of race." -- James Heartfield * Spiked * "It's refreshing to see an ambitious work that steps back from the immediate cauldron of race and places it in a broader political, historical, and theoretical framework. Kyriakides and Torres offer a compelling challenge to the current orthodoxies in this bold, wide-ranging critical analysis." -- Stephen Small, University of California * Berkeley *

Reseña del editor:

This book compares different forms of racism and anti-racism in the United States and Britain from the 19th century to today, situating the development of various racial doctrines within the political movements of the modern capitalist world order.
