Racial identity has been central to twentieth-century Western
imagination. Yet, argues Frank Furedi, advocates of racial identity
have long felt uncomfortable with the racialised global order they
created. In The Silent War, Frank Furedi provides a radical
exploration of the origins of the Anglo-American race relations
industry, arguing that its emergence was driven by a conservative
impulse of damage limitation; white racial fears and the internal
crisis of confidence of the Anglo-American elites helping to
transform racial thinking into a defensive philosophy of race
relations. Furedi reveals how this shift in the conceptualisation
of race is reflected in the management of international relations
and demonstrates how, by the 1940s, Western powers were reluctant
to openly use the discourse of race in international affairs. The
Silent War examines the extent of the silent race agenda in the
postwar era and helps explain why North-South affairs continue to
be influenced by the issue of race.
