This collection is a contribution to the ongoing examination of
race and its relation to class and gender. The essays in the volume
start with the premise that although race, like class and gender,
is socially constructed, all three categories have been shaped
profoundly by their context in a capitalist society. Race, in other
words, is a historical category that develops not only in
dialectical relation to class and gender but also in relation to
the material conditions in which all three are forged. These
assumptions underlie the organization of the volume, which is
divided into three parts: "Racial Structures," which explores the
problem of how race has historically been structured in modern
capitalist societies; "Racial Ideology and Identity," which tackles
diverse but interrelated questions regarding the representation of
race and racism in dominant ideologies and discourses; and
"Struggle," which builds on the insight that resistance to
structures and ideologies of racial oppression is always situated
in a particular time and place. In addition to discussing and
analyzing various dimensions of the African American experience,
contributors also consider the ways in which race plays itself out
in the experience of Asian Americans and in the very different
geopolitical environments of the British Empire and postcolonial
Africa. Contributors are Pedro Cabán, Sundiata Keita Cha-Jua,
David Crockett, Theodore Koditschek, Scott Kurashige, Clarence
Lang, Minkah Makalani, Helen A. Neville, Tola Olu Pearce, David
Roediger, Monica M. White, and Jeffrey Williams.
