Race and Power reviews cutting edge debates around racial politics and the culture and economy of globalization, in an accessible way for undergraduate students. Far from concluding that racism is over, the authors contend that the forces of globalisation inhabit older cultures of racial division in order to safeguard the economic interests of the privileged. Arguing that the unspoken culture of whiteness informs much that passes in the name of globalisation, the book suggests that we are witnessing a reformulation of economic relations around global racisms. Alongside these shifts in economic relations racialised identities evolve to encompass mixed heritages and mixed cultures both in personal identities and in lifestyle choices. The volume ends with an examination of the role of diasporic cultural forms in contemporary global consciousness.

By putting the language used in television, the radio, the internet
and press, as well as that spoken by key leaders, under the
spotlight, what is ultimately revealed is the existence of a
'white' language, both coded and overt.
Taking specific examples and presenting new factual evidence, John
Gabriel studies the racial politics that lie behind much of the
communication in the public arena. Case studies draw on
contemporary political controversies and are used to explore the
relationship between racialised forms of media discourse and
political and economic change.
"""Racism, Culture, Markets" explores the connections between
cultural representations of "race" and their historical,
institutional and global forms of expression and impact.
John Gabriel examines the current fixation with market place
philosophies in terms of the crisis in anti-racist politics and
concern over questions of cultural identity. He explores issues
such as the continuing relevance of terms "black" as a basis for
self-definition; the need to think about identities in more fluid
and complex ways, and the need to develop a much more explicit
discussion of the construction of whiteness and white identities.
"Racism, Culture, Markets" brings together a range of historical
and contemporary case studies including the Rushdie affair; the
Gulf War; the debate around fostering; adoption and domestic
violence; separate schooling; the service economy and its
employment practices; tourism in the Third World; the Bhopal
chemical disaster and racism in New Europe. His case studies also
consider the role played by contemporary media and popular culture
in these debates including film, television, music and the press.

This abridgment of the Prices' acclaimed 1988 critical edition
is based on Stedman's original, handwritten manuscript, which
offers a portrait at considerable variance with the 1796 classic.
The unexpurgated text, presented here with extensive notes and
commentary, constitutes one of the richest and most evocative
accounts ever written of colonial life--and one of the strongest
indictments ever to appear against New World slavery.
