Race Critical Theories cover

Race Critical Theories brings together many of the key contributors to critical theorizing about race and racism over the past twenty years. Each previously published text is accompanied by a fresh statement - in most cases written by the authors themselves - regarding the political context, implications and effects of the original contribution.

"I applaud the editors for their state-of-the-art collection in race and racism studies.This volume will serve as a valuable teaching tool." Gloria Wekker, Utrecht University

"This anthology provides a remarkable synthesis of race theorizing across the humanities and the social sciences – and yet also manages to be both historical and vitally contemporary. Indeed, by incorporating the self-conscious reflections of current thinkers, it often has the quality of a living and breathing text." Troy Duster, New York University

"In the current publishers' rush for student driven grab-and-go Readers, Race Critical Theories represents something of an exception - a collection of seminal texts with a clear critical intellectual project driving its production and seeking to move research agendas forward." Ethnic and Racial Studies

"[T]his is an excellent undergraduate text - bringing together sizeable portions of seminal contemporary discourse and feminist-centered writing on racism and the writng it has influenced - which is likely to prove of great value in teaching." Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies
