This international edited collection examines how racism
trajectories and manifestations in different locations relate and
influence each other. The book unmasks and foregrounds the ways in
which notions of European Whiteness have found form in a variety of
global contexts that continue to sustain racism as an operational
norm resulting in exclusion, violence, human rights violations,
isolation and limited full citizenship for individuals who are not
racialised as White. The chapters in this book specifically
implicate European Whiteness - whether attempting to reflect,
negate, or obtain it - in social structures that facilitate and
normalise racism. The authors interrogate the dehumanisation of
Blackness, arguing that dehumanisation enables the continuation of
racism in White dominated societies. As such, the book explores
instances of dehumanisation across different contexts, highlighting
that although the forms may be locally specific, the outcomes are
continually negative for those racialised as Black. The volume is
refreshingly extensive in its analyses of racism beyond Europe and
the United States, including contributions from Africa, South
America and Australia, and illuminates previously unexplored
manifestations of racism across the globe.

The Caribbean has played a crucial geopolitical role in the Western
pursuit of economic dominance, yet Eurocentric research usually
treats the Caribbean as a peripheral region, consequently labelling
the inhabitants as beings without agency. Examining asymmetrical
relations of power in the Greater Caribbean in historical and
contemporary perspectives, this volume explores the region's
history of resistance and subversion of oppressive structures
against the backdrop of the Caribbean's central role for the
accumulation of wealth of European and North American actors and
the respective dialectics of modernity/coloniality, through a
variety of experiences inducing migration, transnational exchange
and transculturation. Contributors approach the Caribbean as an
empowered space of opposition and agency and focus on perspectives
of the region as a place of entanglements with a long history of
political and cultural practices of resistance to colonization,
inequality, heteronomy, purity, invisibilization, and exploitation.
An important contribution to the literature on agency and
resistance in the Caribbean, this volume offers a new perspective
on the region as a geopolitically, economically and culturally
crucial space, and it will interest researchers in the fields of
Caribbean politics, literature and heritage, colonialism, entangled
histories, global studies perspectives, ethnicity, gender, and
migration.
