Kamari Maxine Clarke and Deborah A. Thomas argue that a firm grasp
of globalization requires an understanding of how race has
constituted, and been constituted by, global transformations.
Focusing attention on race as an analytic category, this
state-of-the-art collection of essays explores the changing
meanings of blackness in the context of globalization. It
illuminates the connections between contemporary global processes
of racialization and transnational circulations set in motion by
imperialism and slavery; between popular culture and global
conceptions of blackness; and between the work of anthropologists,
policymakers, religious revivalists, and activists and the
solidification and globalization of racial categories.A number of
the essays bring to light the formative but not unproblematic
influence of African American identity on other populations within
the black diaspora. Among these are an examination of the impact of
"black America" on racial identity and politics in
mid-twentieth-century Liverpool and an inquiry into the distinctive
experiences of blacks in Canada. Contributors investigate concepts
of race and space in early-twenty-first century Harlem, the
experiences of trafficked Nigerian sex workers in Italy, and the
persistence of race in the purportedly non-racial language of the
"New South Africa." They highlight how blackness is consumed and
expressed in Cuban timba music, in West Indian adolescent girls'
fascination with Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and in the incorporation
of American rap music into black London culture. Connecting race to
ethnicity, gender, sexuality, nationality, and religion, these
essays reveal how new class economies, ideologies of belonging, and
constructions of social difference are emerging from ongoing global
transformations. Contributors. Robert L. Adams, Lee D. Baker,
