Eschewing social scientific approaches, which tend to examine race
and racism in terms of quasi-static ideal types, this book surveys
differing historical contexts from the era of scientific racism in
the nineteenth-century to the post-racial racism of the post 9/11
period, and from Europe to the United States, in order to
understand how racism has been articulated in differing situations.
It is distinguished by the attention it pays to the on-going power
of racial discourse in the contemporary period as a legitimating
factor in oppression. It exemplifies methodological openness,
combining the work of historians, philosophers, religious scholars,
and literary critics, and includes differing theoretical models in
pursuing a critical approach to race: cultural studies; trauma
theory and psychoanalysis; critical theory and consideration of the
"new racism"; and postcolonialism and the literature on
globalization. It brings together the work of leading academics
with younger practitioners and is capped off by an interview with
world-renowned intellectual Cornel West on black intellectuals in
America. This book was previously published as a special issue of
Patterns of Prejudice.
