Paul Gilroy has been a controversial force at the forefront of
debates around race, nation, and diaspora. Working across a broad
range of disciplines, Gilroy has argued that racial identities are
historically constructed, formed by colonization, slavery,
nationalist philosophies, and consumer capitalism. Paul Williams
introduces Gilroy's key themes and ideas, including: the essential
concepts, including ethnic absolutism, civilizationism,
postcolonial melancholia, iconization, and the 'black Atlantic'
analysis of Gilroy's broad-ranging cultural references, from Edmund
Burke to hip-hop a comprehensive overview of Gilroy's influences
and the academic debates his work has inspired. Emphasizing the
timeliness and global relevance of Gilroy's ideas, this guide will
appeal to anyone approaching Gilroy's work for the first time or
seeking to further their understanding of race and contemporary
culture.
